Summary: Von Richthofen see his duels in the sky as tactical, almost sportsmanlike, challenges that, at least at first, obscure his view of the horrors of the battlefields below. The provocative red paint job of his Fokker aircraft earns him the nickname "The Red Baron" and makes him famous the world over.

The provocative red paint job of his Fokker aircraft earns him the nickname "The Red Baron" and makes him famous the world over. For millions of his countrymen, he becomes an idol, a symbol of hope and pride. But the German high command increasingly misuses him for propaganda purposes - until the young pilot falls in love with Kate, a beautiful and resolute nurse who opens his eyes to the fact that there is more to war than dogfights won and adversaries downed. Manfred von Richthofen finally becomes aware of his role in the propaganda machine of a senseless and barbarous war. (Monterey Media Inc.)… Expand

My husband and I are in our eighties and rarely feel like going to the theatre. But when we heard about "The Red Baron", we had to go. We felt like we were in Germany, experiencing the horrors of that war. The actors were wonderful and the aerial combats astounding.

The cars and the uniforms were superb, no expense was spared to recreate the era. The acting well done, but theres no question the Red Barons flight scenes are unmatched in air to air combat of ANY film of the air to air war genre, of any era.

The acting well done, but theres no question the Red Barons flight scenes are unmatched in air to air combat of ANY film of the air to air war genre, of any era. Especially the last battle, that was Hollywood? at its greatest, it showed events on the ground and air simultaeneously that were a big, important, and devastating conflict that was just flat out war, Ive never seen anything like it. Its better than Top Gun, Flyboys, or the Blue Max. Its going to be many a year before ANYONE tops this.
Its unforgiveable tho they didnt make it in 3D. The ground scenes are boring but sustainable. And if true show a touching side of Richtoffen that even tho he really was encouraged to retire, he felt his fame was directly due to his pilots, and had to see the conflict through. Ill give it 8 out of 10 Stars, altho the flight scenes are a SOLID 10 Stars themselves. Its a GREAT movie!… Expand
