Austin Butler, Oscar-nominated for his performance in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, sits in the pilot's seat alongside Callum Turner of a stirring wartime drama based on Donald L Miller's book. In 1943, as Hitler's war machine tighten its grip on Europe, Allied forces seek to regain superiority in the sky. The 100th Bomb Group of the US Air Force, known as the 'Bloody Hundredth', hopes to turn that tide from its base at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. Spearheaded by Major Gale Cleven (Butler)[, Major John Egan (Turner) and Major Harry Crosby (Anthony Boyle), the unit of B-17 Flying Fortress bombers conducts dangerous bombing raids over Germany, flying at 25,000 feet in oxygen-deprived conditions that tests the men's resolve. Fully aware of the likelihood that they will die in service of their country, air men risk everything to strike at the heart of the Third Reich
