1944. To help win the Second World War, the Pentagon brass has no choice but to consider the untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are about to be shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. These intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country—and the fate of the free world. Writer George Lucas brings to life the stirring tale of the courageous black pilots of the Tuskegee program, unsung heroes who were our country’s last hope against a seemingly unbeatable enemy. Starring Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard, Red Tails is director Anthony Hemingway’s feature-length film debut.
