A young adult adaptation of the national bestseller that details the
true story of two Navy pilots from divergent racial and economic
backgrounds who forge a deep friendship during the Korean War as they
face extraordinary circumstances.
Soon to be major motion picture starring Jonathan Majors and Glen
Powell, with a supporting cast including Joe Jonas!
Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, both Navy pilots during
the Korean War in 1950, come from different backgrounds: Hudner is a
white New Englander, a son of privilege; Brown is an African American
son of a sharecropper from Mississippi. When the two men join forces in
Fighter Squadron 32, they forge a deep friendship at a time when racial
inequality was prevalent in America.
An unwavering commitment binds Tom and Jesse to each other as well as to
their comrades. The two fly to save a division of US Marines cornered
during the battle at Chosin Reservoir, but catastrophe strikes when one
of them is shot down behind enemy lines and trapped in the wreckage of
his plane. The other will face an unthinkable choice: watch their friend
die, or attempt one of history's most audacious one-man rescue missions.
What transpires is harrowing and heartbreaking, an inspirational story
for all time.
