Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of Christopher Reeve's hobbies was flying. At the time the movie was made and released, Reeve flew his own six-passenger twin engine Beechcraft plane. Reeve was a qualified pilot with around 2,000 hours flying experience and had commercial, instrument, and multi-engine ratings. Reeve once said: "I thought it would be fun to mix acting and airplanes. Flying is something that comes naturally to me; it certainly helped me with Superman."
- GoofsThe Boeing Stearman plane used in the film had his maiden flight in 1936. It can't have flown in the early 1920s.

Featured review
This is a mostly pleasant old-fashioned type of film. The aerial stuff is nice and the scenery is beautiful. I enjoyed the music, too. Christopher Reeve does a fine job in the lead. Rosanna Arquette is ok but her character seems to have been written as much younger. Well, except for certain stuff that comes out later in the picture but we won't get into that. It's a perfectly watchable movie of its type. It's full of cliches but it all looks nice and mostly sounds nice. Not exactly a ringing endorsement but you could do worse than to watch this. I'd watch this on a loop for the rest of my life than watch most of the garbage Netflix puts out today.
