Lieutenant Frank Ross, a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot, encounters the Nazi weapon, and an intense arial battle ensues. Frank is unsuccessful in the fight and is forced to eject from his plane landing himself behind enemy lines. Waiting for the rescue team, Frank finds himself in the middle of a German ambush against an American Tanker Patrol. Leading the US Patrol is 2nd Lt. Robert Hayes along with his right hand men Sergeant AJ "Red McCarron and Private Michael "Salty" Buttons, an all African American squadron serving the famed 761st Tank Battalion known as "The Black Panthers."

interesting Tyrese Gibson is slowly going into DTV movies? Not really expecting Dolph to be in it or maybe it's gonna be a rather small role.

Well, Tyrese* did only a couple of days (5 or 6 ?) on this one. He might have attracted money though.
And I doubt Dolph will be in this one (but we'll never know, he was on a plane a couple of days ago, maybe to a shooting location).


*I saw him in Christmas Chronicles 2 (with Kurt Russell), and Tyrese was really good in it, even though the movie was a bit crappy.

I have a feeling he'll show up at their next location in Minneapolis...
