Game of Aces

In the scorching desert of Egypt in 1918, British General Rupert Graves III assigns a critical mission to Eleanor Morgan, a skilled English nurse and translator. Her task is to find and rescue Capt. Josef von Zimmerman, a notorious German pilot known for his impressive aerial capabilities.

Eleanor Morgan is paired with Capt. Jackson Cove, an American pilot serving with the British Allied forces. Despite being a skilled pilot, Cove's alcoholism has led to grounding and a shocking record of nine aircraft crashes, complicating their partnership.

As Morgan and Cove journey through the treacherous Sahara Desert, they begin to forge an uneasy alliance rooted in their shared goal. However, the air is thick with tension due to Cove's desire for revenge against von Zimmermann, the pilot responsible for his brother's death.
