Lancaster Skies

'Lancaster Skies' is a loving homage to the classic British war films of the 1940's and 1950's. This period piece is set during the Second World War and tells the story of Douglas Miller, a lonely and broken-down former Spitfire pilot, one of the relatively few survivors of the fateful Battle of Britain in 1940. Heartbroken after losing his younger brother to the war, he withdraws into himself and spends his time reading alone rather than enjoying evenings out on the town with his fellow pilots. After the battle, a struggling Douglas is given a new mission and is transferred to the Bomber Command. Once there, he is determined to take the war to the skies over Nazi Germany, ending the war and avenging the fallen. Douglas must take the place of a Lancaster Bomber crew's cherished and respected skipper, who was killed in action. With the crew against him and big shoes to fill, he must gain their trust and overcome his past and the demons that continue to haunt his present in order to become the leader they so need to win the aerial war over Berlin.

'Lancaster Skies' is directed by Callum Burn and stars Jeffrey Mundell ('The Desert'), Rosa Coduri ('Brotherhood'), Kris Saddler ('Sunburn'), Josh Collins, Joanne Gale, Vin Hawke and Tom Gordon.
