“In foreign skies they fought for their country”
Hurricane follows Polish pilots who join the Royal Air Force during the Second World War after overcoming prejudice and suspicion. As they take to the skies, they fight the Luftwaffe while trying to defend Great Britain and keep hope alive for Poland under German attack. The film centers on their determination in foreign skies and the pressure of war that shapes every mission.
The story is built around the pilots themselves, whose role in the conflict drives the action and the drama. Their service places them within the Royal Air Force, where they must prove their worth while facing danger in combat. The film runs 107 minutes and was made in the United States and the United Kingdom, with English dialogue and an R certificate.
Set against the air war over Britain, the film draws on the tension of wartime service and the strain of fighting for a country that is not their own. It carries the urgency of a war film while also leaning into the grit and momentum of a thriller. The tone is serious and determined, shaped by sacrifice, resistance and the pressure of battle.
