First Light

A young pilot named Geoffrey Wellim (Sam Heughan) finds himself thrown into the deep end of aerial combat when he joins a fighter squadron on the eve of Britain’s greatest air battle. The film would be worth watching just for it’s gorgeous aerial photography, including some intense dogfight scenes. The fact that it’s also a well-written drama about an 18-year-old boy going up against the greatest challenge a man can face is a bonus. The acting is strong, particularly Heughan performance as Wellum, and Tupence Missleton as Grace, the girl who has to face her own challenges when the man she loves is called away.
