Question
HI, i have been thinking of this film recently as i watched it when i was younger, and it has stuck in my head, but i don't know what the title is, can u help.
All i can remember is the ending, its a black and white war film and this guy is trapped under a plane but the plane has to land and this will kill him. As the plane lands this cartoon thing appears under the plane, its in colour, and they manage to get him out. then the cartoon thing dissapears and the plane crashes down. I really hope you can help me.

Answer
Thanks for writing. What you are remembering is an episode of the TV series Amazing Stories directed by Steven Spielberg called "The Mission" (1985).  Here's the Internet Movie Database page on it:
