Area 88 (TV)

Finished

エリア88

In the Middle Eastern kingdom of Asran, photojournalist Makoto Shinjou arrives at the remote airbase Area 88 to document the lives of its mercenary pilots. Among them is Shin Kazama, a Japanese ace who was deceived by his best friend into signing a contract with Asran's air force. This betrayal cost him his career as a commercial airline pilot and separated him from his fiancée, Ryoko Tsugumo.

Trapped at Area 88, Shin faces a brutal path to freedom. His contract stipulates only three ways to leave: complete three years of service, earn 1.5 million dollars through combat missions, or attempt to desert, which carries a death sentence. As Shin flies deadly sorties, he must navigate the moral complexities of war and his own desperate longing to return home.
