1944, under andra världskriget, fick Tuskegee-piloterna från den amerikanska arméns första svarta luftförband kämpa mot diskriminering. Medan deras vita kollegor går ut i krig måste piloterna runt Martin "Easy" Julian (Nate Parker) stanna kvar på basen. En dag erbjuds de dock möjligheten att visa sina färdigheter och eskortera bombplanen mitt på ljusa dagen. I sin oförskräckta triumf bekämpar de inte bara sina fiender, utan också mot den diskriminering som funnits fram till nu.
