Sky Fighters (Les chevaliers du ciel ) is a 2005 French action film starring Benoît Magimel and Clovis Cornillac, directed by Gérard Pirès. It is based on the French children's series Les chevaliers du ciel ("The Knights of the Sky"), which was based on the comic series Tanguy et Laverdure, although the character names are different. It can be described as France's answer to Top Gun, a propaganda film with incredible flying sequences. Unlike Top Gun, in which most of the filming was done from the ground, most of the filming in this film was done from the air, with specially designed camera pods fitted to the Mirage 2000 fighters.
