Red Tails presents the combat experience of the Tuskegee Airmen aviators and the challenges they endured and overcame in a compelling way that involves all the elements of great theater--drama, suspense, humor, action, tragedy, horror, and redemption. The movie runs for two hours but does not drag. It presents the realities of racism in a way that is honest, but not triumphalist on any level. We are indebted to the Tuskegee Airman for their valiant service to the nation. We are indebted to George Lucas for having enough honor to put up his own money to tell their story.
