Now playing in theaters from Sony Pictures is the historical war epic “Devotion,” from director J.D. Dillard (“Sweetheart”) and starring Jonathan Majors (Da Five Bloods, Lovecraft Country) and Glen Powell (Hidden Figures, Top Gun: Maverick). The film is an aerial war epic based on the bestselling book of the same name.
Set in 1950, as the Cold War looms, Majors and Powell play Jesse L. Brown and Tom Hudner, elite U.S. Navy fighter pilots who form a firm friendship that is tested on the battlefield when one of them is shot down behind enemy lines. Their heroic sacrifices would ultimately make them the Navy's most celebrated wingmen.
