The Big Lift

During the 1948 Berlin Airlift, two Air Force sergeants join forces to deliver vital supplies to Berlin, which is under siege by the Soviet Union. As they work together, they share their personal stories amidst the intense and historic backdrop of the blockade.

The Soviet Union's 1948 blockade of Berlin's Allied sectors sparks a Berlin Airlift, which is woven into the stories of two US Air Force soldiers: Sgt. Hank Kowalski, whose prejudices against Germans are tested, and Sgt. Danny McCullough, who becomes entangled with a German war widow, exposing him to the city's darker side.
