Devotion tells the inspirational story of the U.S. Navy’s most famous aviator duo, Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown, and the Marines they fought to defend. A white New Englander from the country club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. Jesse became the Navy’s first black carrier pilot, an African American sharecropper's son from Mississippi, defending a nation that wouldn’t even serve him in a bar.
