Mynarski Death Plummet (French: Mynarski chute mortelle) is a Canadian short film, directed by Matthew Rankin and released in 2014.[1] Blending live action with animation, the film expressionistically imagines the final moments of Andrew Mynarski, a Canadian World War II airman who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for saving the life of colleague Pat Brophy before plummeting to his death from their burning airplane.
