Certificate PG-13 Action | Adventure | Drama | History | War
A crew of African American pilots in the Tuskegee training program, having faced segregation while kept mostly on the ground during World War II, are called into duty under the guidance of Col. A.J. Bullard.
Director: Anthony Hemingway
Stars: Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Ne-Yo
The Buzz: Sure, the dialogue is riddled with cliched bullets, but the aerial action sequences are the kind of Lucas-style entertainment that we happily eat up. Entirely financed by George Lucas himself and in development for 20+ years, we're happy to know that other people have handled the screenplay, namely, "Boondocks" creator Aaron McGruder. And with Treme producer/director Anthony Hemingway behind the camera, we're thinking the melodrama might have a bit more resonance than we first expected. Helping keep the story airborne are the always-welcome Terrence Howard, Bryan Cranston, and Andre Royo.
