20th Century Fox has released a 7 minute preview clip of the upcoming Tuskagee Airmen film, ‘Red Tails.’ <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Directed by Anthony Hemingway<\/strong> and produced by George Lucas<\/strong>, the films stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Bryan Cranston, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Tristan Wilds, Cliff Smith, Kevin Phillips, Rick Otto, Lee Tergesen, Andre Royo, Ne-Yo, Elijah Kelley, Marcus T. Paulk, Leslie Odom Jr., Michael B. Jordan, Jazmine Sullivan, Edwina Finley, Daniela Ruah, Stacie Davis<\/strong>, and Gerald McRaney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1944. World War II rages and the fate of the free world hangs in the balance. Meanwhile the black pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program are courageously waging two wars at once \u2013 one against enemies overseas, and the other against discrimination within the military and back home. Racial prejudices have long held ace airman Martin \u201cEasy\u201d Julian (Nate Parker) and his black pilots back at base \u2013 leaving them with little to do but further hone their flying skills \u2013 while their white counterparts are shipped out to combat after a mere three months of training. Mistakenly deemed inferior and assigned only second-rate planes and missions, the pilots of Tuskegee have mastered the skies with ease but have not been granted the opportunity to truly spread their wings.<\/p>\n

Until now.<\/p>\n

As the war in Europe continues to take its dire toll on Allied forces, Pentagon brass has no recourse but to reconsider these under-utilized pilots for combat duty. Just as the young Tuskegee men are on the brink of being shut down and shipped back home, Col. A.J. Bullard (Terrence Howard) awards them the ultimate chance to prove their mettle high above. Undaunted by the prospect of providing safe escort to bombers in broad daylight \u2013 a mission so dangerous that the RAF has refused it and the white fighter groups have sustained substantial losses \u2013 Easy\u2019s pilots at last join the fiery aerial fray. Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these intrepid young airmen take to the skies in a heroic endeavor to combat the enemy \u2013 and the discrimination that has kept them down for so long.<\/p>\n

‘Red Tails’ <\/a><\/strong>opens nationwide on January 20th.<\/p>\n
