Fortress
“Battles were fought on the ground, wars were won in the sky.”
War
When the commander of the crew of a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber is killed in action in a raid over Sicily in 1943, his replacement, a young, naive pilot struggles to be accepted by the plane's already tight-knit Irish American crew.
VIBE
This film feels like the quiet hum of a bomber engine before a mission. It's a somber, brotherhood-focused wartime drama about finding your place amidst the chaos and loss of war.
