Less of a flying movie than a drama involving flying, 24 September 2001
9/10

St. Exupery was a fantastic wordsmith in love with flying and it shows. Early flying was fraught with magnificent efforts and sacrifices, and not only did the pilots suffer; their friends, employers and most of all their families shared their danger. South America was a forbidding environment, but the boldest challenges drew the boldest people. Fantastic cast for a little known movie today.
