About this product

Product Information

The thrilling true story of the Tuskegee Airmen buzzes to the big screen in this epic war adventure from executive producer George Lucas and first-time feature director Anthony Hemingway. In the fire and chaos of World War II, the U.S. military recruits a fearless group of African-American fighter pilots to help reclaim the skies over Europe. Discriminated against both as citizens and as soldiers, the Tuskegee Airmen take flight in planes distinguished by distinctive red tails, and fight to defeat the tyranny of the Axis powers. As a result of their bravery, the pilots emerge as true heroes, and prove that all men are truly created equal. Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Bryan Cranston star.

ReviewsTampa Bay Times - Fighter planes swoop and zoom in thrilling dogfights with incendiary direct hits. Executive producer George Lucas apparently gave Hemingway the keys to his CGI kingdom, creating marvelously designed in-flight action and a sappy, snappy salute to the Tuskegee Airmen.

  • Great action movie with a true story behind the plot

    If you don't mind the CGI then this is a great movie, not that the CGI was bad just a bit obvious on Blu-Ray. The story has been adapted for the effects but it's still based on a true story and tells the determination of theses airmen If WW2 epics appeal to you this one is great but make sure you also watch the original movie, the Tuskegee Airmen, as well

  • Mostly good

    Overall a thoroughly enjoyable film with some memorable moments and lines. The acting and script are sound, and the action sequences well staged. The film spends a little too much time on the characters on not enough on the action and what they achieved, although you do get a summary of the medals in the credits. It portrays clearly the high level prejudice (and from other ranks), that they suffered through out the war. More could have been made of the incredible reputation they earned with the bomber crews and the huge difference they made to the success of the bombing campaign. There are thousands of Americans alive today as a direct result of the courage and prowess of these fliers.

  • Fascinating Tale of Black American Bravery in World War II

    Fascinating Tale of Afro American Bravery in World War II. It was thrilling and a true story of how Black American overcame discrimination and served the USA with outstanding bravery. I am a white British person who would have been proud to serve with them. Praise God.

  • It seems to be a film about racism

    USA second world war fighter pilots being prevented from joining in the fight against nazism due to racist policies at home (being the USA) and how they overcame that.
