A bombardier in World War II tries desperately to escape the insanity of the war. However, sometimes insanity is the only sane way to cope with a crazy situation. Catch-22 is a parody of a "military mentality", and of a bureaucratic society in general.

Catch-22 Ratings & Reviews

  • ahwooNovember 29, 2025
    Although the book is better, this is a worthy film to watch. WW2 satire at its best.
  • DadJuly 14, 2025
    Alan Arkan was good amongst a fairly big cast for the time although, it's probably better if you had read the book.
