Air War is a heartfelt and exhilarating box office sensation that took fifteen years to create. It finally brings the Israeli Air Force to the big screen. With the air force holding a special place in Israel, where IAF pilots are revered as the elite of the elite, it's surprising that a film of this magnitude has taken so long to emerge. The story follows a young, fearless lieutenant who, after single-handedly shooting down six Egyptian MiGs, is promoted to command a fighter squadron. His new role sparks a fierce rivalry with the disciplined second-in-command, whose methodical approach clashes with the lieutenant's reckless style. As tensions rise and their squadron's performance falters, the two must learn to work together to lead their team to victory on the eve of the Six-Day War, when their country's fate hangs in the balance.
