Description

Includes Q&A with former Israeli Airforce fighter pilots


Israel's answer to Top Gun! 

A rivalry between two charismatic Israeli air force fighter pilots reaches breaking point on the eve of the six-day war. After single handedly shooting down six Egyptian migs in aerial combat, the young, brash Lt. Ran Nesher is awarded a new assignment: to take over the command of a fighter squadron. The squadron's second-in-command, the more methodical and disciplined Lt. Eitan Rom, is profoundly threatened by his new reckless Commander who is clearly inexperienced and domineering and the ongoing power struggle begins to affect the performance of the squadron. However, as their country’s existence hangs in the balance, the two men must learn to work together. It is only then that they are ready to lead their squadron to victory.

An Israeli action/drama "featuring handsome stars, romance, rivalry between two hotshot pilots, and, most important, realistic-looking, thrilling aerial battles."
