Red Tails
ActionAdventureDramaFamilyWar125 min
In 1944, the Tuskegee Airmen — the first African-American pilots to fly in a U.S. combat squadron — are finally sent into the air war over Europe while still facing segregation from the military they serve. Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. are part of the squadron’s leadership, with Nate Parker and David Oyelowo among the younger flyers pushing for the chance to fight. Red Tails moves between briefing rooms, barracks, and aerial missions, following a unit whose battle includes enemy aircraft abroad and discrimination on the ground at home.
