Red Baron is directed by German filmmaker Nikolai Müllerschön and stars upcoming German actor Matthias Schweighöfer (Valkyrie) as the titular Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen. Terminator; The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Lena Headey and Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love) complete the stellar cast for this wartime action/ romance.
September 1916 – a young aristocrat, Baron Manfred von Richthofen (Matthias Schweighöfer), is transferred to a German fighter division. Numerous kills, his trademark bright red plane and the heroic conquests of his ‘Flying Circus’ squadron soon make him a German hero. Yet manipulated by the High Command propaganda machine and distracted by fame, he remains blind to the true cost of conflict. After shooting down Canadian pilot Arthur Roy Brown (Joseph Fiennes) and pulling him out of the wreckage, he assists French nurse Kate Otersdorf (Lena Headey) in tending to the pilot’s wounded leg.
Packed with incredible aerial combat scenes, this is the story of the greatest fighter pilot of all time. Click on the link above to download the trailer.
