The Blue Max

Fox War Classics

James Mason, George Peppard and Ursula Andress highlight this stirring drama set in Germany during the close of World War I. Bruno Stachel (Peppard), a peasant promoted into the elite German air force, finds himself battling both the enemy in the sky and the prejudices of his higher-born fellow fliers. To overcome this stigma, Stachel proves he will go to any length-honorably or dishonorably, to win his country's most coveted air medal, Blue Max. But he soon learns the price he must pay for being proclaimed a hero in this highly acclaimed film with its uncompromising story and spectacular flying sequences.
