Synopsis/Details: 

The true life story of one of America’s greatest aerial photographers, Judson P. Brohmer,
and the accident in an F-16 chase mission that took his life.

The tale unfolds through the eyes of the screenwriter as he follows the family’s history
through interviews with pilots, and the men and women of the US Air Force. His own
transformation begins to take place as he falls in love with the widow while concealing his
own marriage.

Desiring to know Judson deeper, the screenwriter is tormented as his own marriage
crumbles and Judson’s voice from the grave challenges his integrity and morals. Now
suddenly faced with the truth of his careless lifestyle, unable to complete the story he
abandons his research, writing, and the Brohmer family who put their trust in him.

Back in Hollywood he recounts the story to his agent. She is quick to uncover his fears,
and challenge him to face them. Reluctantly he returns to complete the story, ultimately
finding himself, and his hero.

A love story, an adventure, an inspirational look beneath the passion that drives us all,
Breaking Free will capture your heart, and push you to live your dreams.
