Lancaster

From the makers of the box-office smash hit SPITFIRE comes LANCASTER, the story of the iconic WW2 bomber told through the words of the last surviving crew members, incredible archive material and unique aerial footage of the last working Lancasters in flight. As the country endures the worst of The Blitz, the enemy is strong and RAF Bomber Command badly equipped. But eventually, the tide is turned with the introduction of the ‘Lanc’. Responsible for some of the most famous, and infamous, missions in WW2 history, from the Dambuster raids to the controversial bombing of Dresden, there was a deadly price to be paid in the lethal night skies over Germany. 55,000 – half of all Bomber Command’s aircrew – died in the skies over Nazi occupied Europe, with an average age of just 22. LANCASTER is a unique story of courage, fear, friendship and the moral complexities of war.
