Apple TV+ announced today The Bloody Hundredth, a companion documentary to its global hit historical drama series Masters of the Air.
The Bloody Hundredth honors the real-life heroes of the 100th Bomb Group, who conducted perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany during World War II.
The hour-long documentary spotlights the true stories of several characters and real-life airmen featured in Masters of the Air, including John Egan (played by Callum Turner), Gale Cleven (played by Austin Butler), Harry Crosby (played by Anthony Boyle), Robert “Rosie” Rosenthal (played by Nate Mann), Frank Murphy (played by Jonas Moore), Alexander Jefferson (played by Branden Cook), Richard Macon (played by Josiah Cross), as well as veterans John “Lucky” Luckadoo, Robert Wolf, and many others.
From the shock of Pearl Harbor to the joy of VE Day, The Bloody Hundredth is a record of what was endured and achieved by a group of young Americans when their country and the world needed them most.
The Bloody Hundredth premieres globally on Friday, March 15, exclusively on Apple TV+ — just in time for the Masters of the Air series finale.
Produced by Playtone-Amblin and narrated by Tom Hanks, the documentary is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks. and Gary Goetzman. It is directed by Mark Herzog and long-time Spielberg collaborator Laurent Bouzereau.
