From the creators of "SPITFIRE" comes "LANCASTER," an exploration of the iconic WW2 bomber's history, as recounted by the last surviving crew members. The documentary weaves together their narratives with expertly remastered archival material and breathtaking aerial footage showcasing the RAF's final airworthy Lancaster.
Responsible for some of the most renowned and controversial missions in WW2, from the daring Dambuster raids to the contentious bombing of Dresden, the Lancaster played a pivotal role in altering the course of the war. However, this crucial contribution came at a grievous cost. Over Nazi-occupied Europe, 55,000 young men—comprising half of all Bomber Command's aircrew—made the ultimate sacrifice. Their average age was a mere 22.
"LANCASTER" unfolds as an epic and poignant tale, exploring themes of bravery, fear, camaraderie, and the intricate moral dilemmas of wartime.
