Set during World War II, this film follows Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier, as he grapples with the absurdities and bureaucratic paradoxes of military life. The story delves into the concept of a “catch-22,” a no-win situation where one cannot escape due to contradictory rules. Directed by Mike Nichols, the film features an ensemble cast including Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam, and Orson Welles. While it did not win any major awards, it remains a notable adaptation of Joseph Heller’s acclaimed novel. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on 123Movies / Movies123.
