Game of Thrones's Iwan Rheon stars in this true story WWII drama about the Poles who joined the Royal Air Force to help push back the Nazis. Directed by BAFTA and Emmy Award winner David Blair.
Having seen Poland crumble and France capitulate, Polish pilot Jan Zumbach (Rheon) and his Air Force comrades join the British RAF to fight during the Battle of Britain. The Poles must overcome exhaustion, nerves and the distrust of their new British comrades while they fight to save their own country above a foreign land.

Where to watch Hurricane (2018)
"It's an old-fashioned boy's own tale, with the accent on boys - an attempt to widen the focus to the women working behind the scenes backfires slightly...Still, the story of the Polish pilots deserves to be told."

The Guardian
The Guardian"Delivering plenty of tears and triumph before tea time (albeit with a nasty true-life sting in its final text summary), Hurricane could just have benefited from a slightly tighter focus."

Stuff
Stuff"A niche film for World War II buffs, Polish patriots and air display patrons. Not exactly subtle, but few war films are - and it's hard not to get caught up in fighting these old battles."
