Spitfire Over Berlin (2022)

Spitfire Over Berlin tells the story of Edward Barnes, a British reconnaissance pilot on a solo mission over Nazi-occupied territory to capture vital photographic evidence that could save thousands of Allied lives. Set in 1944, the film follows his perilous journey as he dodges enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft fire, fueled by courage and duty.
Directed by Callum Burn and starring Kris Saddler, Jeffrey Mundell, and David Dobson, the movie is inspired by real-life aerial missions during World War II. It presents a focused, character-driven war drama emphasizing tension over spectacle.
Despite its small-scale production, Spitfire Over Berlin succeeds in building suspense and highlighting the personal cost of war. The film’s strength lies in its atmosphere, tight runtime, and dedication to the historical tone of the period.

It’s a thoughtful portrayal of wartime sacrifice and quiet heroism.
