''[[The Sky Crawlers]]'' is a 2008 Japanese anime film, directed by [[Mamoru Oshii]] and an adaptation of Hiroshi Mori's novel of the same name. It is a melancholy take on war and those who fight it, but with several significant twists. For one, the world is at peace; it's companies doing the fighting, in order to sate the people's taste for war so that actual conflict does not take place. To fight their endless battles they use [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]] called Kildren that are stuck in a perpetual adolescence of forgotten memories.
The film follows the pilot Yuuichi as he joins a new squadron of Kildren, and becomes intrigued by his cold, enigmatic and possibly insane commander, Kusanagi, who seems to know a lot more about the reality of the war than anybody else on the base. The story is as much about the pilots' downtime and their search for meaning as it is about the stunning aerial combat scenes.

A [[Video Game]] was released in 2008 in Japan by the [[Ace Combat]] team. It was released 2010 outside Japan with the title Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, which came as a surprise for fans as it seemed a prime candidate for [[No Export for You]]. Plotwise, it's a prequel.
