This is one of the best adventure films I've ever seen. Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong are great and Jack Weston as Struts is hillarious.
It has some great scenes of the planes flying across country. And John Barry's music is excellent.
The story is simple: Rich woman (Armstrong) hires drunken pilot (Selleck) to fly her to China to find her missing father.
Meanwhile, people are trying to have her killed, and each stop they make along the way allows for a sideline adventure.
All in all, one of my favourite films, and a rare treat of a movie. They don't them like this any more. I wish it were available on DVD!
