Devotion

'Devotion' is an action war drama film based on the bestselling book 'Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice' by Adam Makos. This film portrays the story of two US Navy fighter pilots during the Korean War and how the war built a strong bond of friendship between the two.

The plot of the film centres on the friendship between Jesse L. Brown (Jonathan Majors) and Tom Hudner (Glen Powell), two fighter pilots from distinct backgrounds. Brown is the son of a sharecropper who is doing anything to be the first Black carrier pilot in the Navy, despite the discrimination that he faces.

Unlike Brown, Hudner was born into a very wealthy family and loves to enjoy life in country clubs. But when he hears the news about the war, Hudner turns down the opportunity to study at Harvard and decides to fight for his country instead. That is where Hudner meets Brown, and the two would later go on to become the most celebrated Navy wingmen.
