What is The Bloody Hundredth about?
“The hour-long documentary spotlights the true stories of the characters and real-life airmen featured in Masters of the Air including John Egan, Gale Cleven, Harry Crosby, Robert ‘Rosie’ Rosenthal, Frank Murphy, Alexander Jefferson, Richard Macon, as well as veterans John ‘Lucky’ Luckadoo, Robert Wolf, and many others,” the synopsis reads. “From the shock of Pearl Harbor to the joy of VE Day, The Bloody Hundredth is a record of what was endured and achieved by a group of young Americans when their country and the world needed them most.”
The Bloody Hundredth is directed by Mark Herzog and Laurent Bouzereau. Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Gary Goetzman serve as executive producers.
Masters of the Air premiered on Apple TV+ on January 26, 2024, while the season finale also drops on March 15. The series, which was written by John Shiban and John Orloff, stars Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, Barry Keoghan, Nikolai Kinski, Stephen Campbell Moore, Sawyer Spielberg, and more.
“Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, Masters of the Air follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the ‘Bloody Hundredth’) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air,” the synopsis reads. “Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of Masters of the Air. Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.”
The Bloody Hundredth releases on Apple TV+ on March 15, 2024. The first seven episodes of Masters of the Air, meanwhile, are currently streaming.
