About Hürkuş: Göklerdeki Kahraman
The life of Vecihi Hürkuş, the first Turkish pilot to shoot down an enemy aircraft during World War I and the War of Independence, is being brought to the big screen. Vecihi Hürkuş, who pursued his passion for flying at the age of 16, dedicated his life to manufacturing aircraft and training new pilots.
Directed by Kudret Sabancı, Hürkuş: Göklerdeki Kahraman leans on a strong ensemble — Hilmi Cem İntepe, Gizem Karaca, Bora Akkaş — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 2018.
