The Liberator takes place during World War II where maverick U.S. Army officer Felix Sparks and the 157th Infantry Regiment fought for over five hundred days alongside the Allied forces during the Italian campaign.
The Liberator is a character-driven action miniseries
based on the true story of World War II infantry commander Felix
"Shotgun" Sparks (played by Bradley James), who led the members of the 157th Infantry Battalion of the 45th Infantry Division,
an integrated group of white cowboys, Mexican Americans and Native
soldiers drawn from across the west. Sparks and his battalion of
"Thunderbirds" were classic citizen soldiers, and for over 500 days they
led a special group of American soldiers from Italy to France to the
liberation of the Dachau
concentration camp, through some of the most grueling battles of the
war, becoming one of the most decorated American combat units of World
War II.
Hisone Amakasu is a rookie in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, where she is situated at their Gifu base. She decided to join the force to distance herself from other people, as she was finding it difficult to acknowledge that her innocent words were hurting them, despite that not being her intention. Amakasu's decision led to her life being changed when the concealed "OTF" dragon inside the base chose her to be his pilot, where she discovered her destined role as a dragon pilot during their ascension in the skies together. According to legend, dragons are thought to possess a key to unlocking the future of the world.
