A historical war drama that traces a fighter pilot's disillusionment as he discovers the gap between heroic myth and brutal reality, anchored by a romantic connection that deepens his moral awakening.

Richthofen goes off to war like thousands of other men. As fighter pilots, they become cult heroes for the soldiers on the battlefields. Marked by sportsmanlike conduct, technical exactitude and knightly propriety, they have their own code of honour. Before long he begins to understand that his hero status is deceptive. His love for Kate, a nurse, opens his eyes to the brutality of war.
