Aces High
A naive young officer straight from school arrives on the Western front to fight the air war against the Germans. However, the life expectancy of rookie pilots is not very good.
A sobering dive into the brutal reality of aerial combat during WWI, where idealism crashes hard against mortality. This is cinema for viewers who want their war stories unflinching and human—no glory, just survival and the weight of command.
