Two of history's most fabled flyboys square off in daring, acrobatic duels of death in Von Richthofen And Brown, a high-flying tale of famous battles... and infamous daredevils. Baron Manfred von Richthofen (John Phillip Law), Germany's legendary Red Baron, is an aristocratic knight of the skies. But his chivalrous sense of honor doesn't mean he's merciful - some 80 pilots have lost their lives to this steel-willed ace of aces. In contract, Canadian wheat farmer Roy Brown (Don Stroud) couldn't care less about honor. He lives, the enemy dies - in any way Brown can make it happen. And so when these two very different men go head-to-head in a winner-take-all showdown, it's a swooping, bullet-filled confrontation that puts their skill - and their courage - to the ultimate test.
