Phenomenally successful in the Czech Republic, Jan Sverák's World War Two drama focuses on two Czech pilots (Ondrej Vetchy and Krystof Hádek) who flee Europe to join the RAF and fight the Nazis. Then, in a real Pearl Harbor kind of moment, they both meet and fall in love with the same woman (Tara Fitzgerald).

Filmed using real planes, CGI and outtakes from tubthumping 1969 epic The Battle Of Britain, they go a long way towards making up for the uneven tone.
