Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed is a 2012 religious-themed war film set during the invasion of Southern France in World War II. An example of LDS cinema from Excel Entertainment Group, it was directed by Ryan Little, written by Lamont Gray and Lincoln Hoppe and starring Corbin Allred, David Nibley, and Jasen Wade. The film's story has no relation to the events or characters portrayed in the 2003 war film Saints and Soldiers, although both films feature actor Corbin Allred and share a director. It was inspired by a true story.
In August 1944, the Allies have invaded German-occupied France. Nazi Captain Erich Neumann (Lincoln Hoppe) speaks over the phone, comforting his family as he is concerned for their safety. Afterwards, he executes two French men. On the early morning of August 15, paratroopers from the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team land in Provence, France under heavy fire from the Germans. Two soldiers, Corporals Harland 'Bud' Curtis (Jasen Wade) and James Rossi (Corbin Allred) land separately and alone. Curtis is pursued by Germans after a flare exposes his location, but he manages to escape.
Hours later, Curtis tries to hide from a passing German patrol, but is spotted. Seeing himself outnumbered, he quickly surrenders. As he is restrained and searched, however, a grenade is thrown into the patrol, distracting the Germans. Rossi, who had snuck up on them, kills the entire patrol and rescues Curtis. Rossi determines using a map and a compass that the two are still miles away from their intended landing zone in Les Arcs, a French village. The two set off before finding an abandoned shelter where they are followed by Curtis's commander Sergeant Caleb Jones (David Nibley).
Jones explains that the trio must head for Les Arcs as soon as they can as the Germans may send patrols after them. The three travel through the French country, eventually stopping at a road. They encounter Neumann, who is meeting with fellow officers and troops. The three try to hide in the grass but Rossi inadvertently alerts them to his position, and is forced to open fire and kill a German. The two groups engage in a brief firefight, which ends in all of Neumann's troops being killed. Seeing this, he tries to flee and is pursued by Jones. Neumann trips and Jones catches up to him, but is reluctant to shoot him, being religious. He apparently kills Neumann anyway.
