Catch-22 is a 1970 satirical war film adapted from the book of the same name by Joseph Heller. Essentially it is a black comedy revolving around the "lunatic characters" of Heller's satirical anti-war novel. Captain Yossarian (Arkin), a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier, is stationed on the Mediterranean island of Pianosa during World War II. Along with other members of his squadron, Yossarian is committed to flying dangerous missions, and after watching his friends die, he seeks a means of escape.

Catch-22 has become renowned for its role in saving the B-25 Mitchell aircraft type from a possible extinction. Fifteen of the 18 bombers used in the film still remain intact.

The phrase started by the book and this movie "Catch-22" is now a common idiomatic usage meaning "a no-win situation" or "a double bind" of any type.
