Synopsis

 

The war made them enemies. The sky made them legends. 

 

When a brash American fighter pilot is shot down and captured during the Vietnam War, he challenges his enemy to a duel in the skies to save a fellow prisoner, setting the stage for one of the most secret and consequential dogfights never recorded in history.

​

Lt. Chase Caldwell is an elite U.S. Navy pilot whose cockiness leads to disaster in the skies over Vietnam. Shot down and imprisoned, he strikes a secret pact with Colonel Tran, a feared Vietnamese ace, to face off in a one-on-one air duel. With only his skills, a battered Phantom, and his former instructor’s guidance, Caldwell risks everything in a final airborne showdown that transcends borders, politics, and history.
