Ace
Aug 26 – Sep 28, 2008Set in 1950s heartland America, Ace is the epic story of one boy's journey to come to terms with his past, find his place in the present, and unlock his future. When 10-year-old Danny Lucas receives a toy plane as an unexpected gift from his foster parents, a parallel world of dreamtime adventures begins to unfold. With an ace fighter as his guide, Danny is transported back in time - flying into the gathering storm over Europe during aerial dogfights of WWI and soaring with the daring Tiger squadrons of WWII in the skies above Southeast Asia. A tale of triumph, transcendence, humor, and heart as seen through the prism of a child's eyes, Ace magically explores the heroic lives and unforseen legacies of the men and women of our greatest generations.
