Synopsis

In Berlin at the end of World War II, an American Army officer bears witness to the aftermath of one historic tragedy and the rise of another

 

Captain Sean O&;Sullivan distinguishes himself as a courageous soldier in the closing days of World War II, but what comes next tests his deepest reserves of strength and conviction. Sent to oversee the rebuilding of Berlin, O&;Sullivan is exposed to the horrific truths of the Holocaust, a shattered and defeated society, and the new threat of Soviet power as the Iron Curtain begins to shadow the city. When Soviet forces blockade Berlin and the airlift begins, O&;Sullivan is faced with profound moral dilemmas in an increasingly complicated world.

 

Armageddon is one of the great fictional portrayals of Europe in the earliest days of the Cold War.
