Synopsis

"Through war with honor."
"Through adversity with courage."
"Through it all with each other."

Europe 1944.

World War 2 continues to take its toll on the Allied forces. Meanwhile back in America, the Pentagon brass has no recourse but to consider unorthodox options - including the untried and untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program.

Faced with the imminent closure of the project and then being shipped back home, the young Tuskegee men given the ultimate chance to show their courage. Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these courageous young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country â€" and ultimately the fate of the free world.
