Synopsis
An epic account of true events, this is the unparalleled tale behind
the legacy of the Kamikaze pilot, when the objective was not to
survive, but to die in the name of honour.
In the final months of WWII, US naval forces expanded in the South
West Pacific, triggering a series of sustained and devastating
aerial attacks on Allied ships from the Japanese military. In a last
ditch effort to defend the Empire, an elite air force unit named
Special Attack Corps was formed with the sole mission to storm
unsuspecting US carriers and ships from the skies, with catastrophic
results.
With causalities in their thousands, this tale brings to life the
enduring image of the Kamikaze pilot in one of the most intense and
relentless attacks of 1945.
