Watch Masters of the Air: Synopsis

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg conquered land and sea already with their previous World War II dramas, Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010), both of which took home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Miniseries. Now they’re gifting us an aerial perspective on that global conflict as an A-list cast swoop into action to bring the story of the 100th Bomb Group to nerve-shredding life. Read on for our guide on how to watch Masters of the Air online where you are.

Masters of the Air is a 9-part event produced for Apple TV Plus, brought to the screen by John Shiban (Breaking Bad), John Orloff (Band of Brothers), and executive producers Spielberg and Hanks.
