Reunion of Giants Trailers

It had been 50 years since two Avro Lancaster bombers flew side by side. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Avro Lancaster, VeRA, flew from Hamilton, Ontario to meet her British counterpart, Thumper - the only other surviving flight worthy Lancaster bomber in the world - the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's (BBMF) Lancaster in England. This documentary includes first-hand accounts from the men and women who experienced the war and were connected to the Lancaster. It transports the viewer back in time as they share what it was like during the Lancaster's glory days. REUNION OF GIANTS documents this historic mission as it unfolds through the eyes of the flight crews, veterans, friends and family. It includes all parts in this new chapter of the bomber's history, as VeRA crosses the Atlantic.

Reviews
Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
chrisbarber-98549 For anyone who is interested in WW2 aviation this film/documentary is an absolute must. The most famous heavy bomber of the allies was the Avro Lancaster and there are only two airworthy examples left in the world. And they are on opposite sides of the world, one in the BBMF stable at Coningsby, Lincolnshire and one in Canada.For several weeks in the late summer of 2014 these two old ladies of the skies, sisters, were reunited - probably for the last time.This documentary covers the journey of "VERA" over the North Atlantic, through Iceland and her reunion with "THUMPER" in a Lincolnshire downpour. We then see the preparations being made for these two to fly together and the magnificent sight of them flying side by side through the skies they helped defend in the dark days of WW2.Fantastic aerial photography and stunning welcomes that these two giants received wherever they went will make this a film to be watched over and over again.
