Red Tails (12A)

The skies are filled with action in TV director Anthony Hemingway's first feature film Red Tails.

A self-funded George Lucas project, Hemingway has worked with him to make this true event in history a modern exhilarating ride.


In a time where African American people were viewed with extreme discrimination, four black Tuskegee pilots, members of the 332nd fighter squadron - Easy (Nat Parker), Lightening (David Oyelowo), Junior (Tristan Wilds), Joker (Elijah Kelley) and Smokey (Ne-Yo), led by Major Emmanuel Stance (Cuba Gooding Jr) - took their battle of discrimination to the skies and won.

During the film we live their every fight and witness the courage of these unsung heroes in the midst of the second world war in the skies above Italy. Red Tails says "chocks away!" as we re-live an era that celebrates man's camaraderie and airborne excellence, with a mix of exhilarating dog-fights and tender romances, which brings George Lucas's vision to life in a heart pounding battle above the sky that is not to be missed!

*The dog fights are thrilling and the aerial cinematography is breath-taking* ABC News



 *The flashy action and innate inspirational elements that make the impact. But there's so much more to this story* The Hollywood Reporter
