As the Soviet blockade of Berlin threatens to starve its citizens, a diverse group of characters—including a reluctant RAF commander, a grieving journalist, and a determined heir—must navigate personal struggles and political tensions to support the airlift that could save the city from despair.
Standing up to dictators isn't easy — but sometimes it's necessary.
Berlin 1948. The economy is broken, the currency worthless, and the Russian bear is hungry. Next on the menu is Berlin. Here war heroes and war's victims are struggling to survive in a world with widespread unemployment and where the wartime Allies are at each other's throats. When a Russian fighter brings down a British passenger plane, the world teeters on the brink of World War Three. The defenders of freedom must work together to save Berlin from tyranny and the world from war. The first battle of the Cold War is about to begin.
