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
A good view of the birth of commercial aviation
Few people know that Christopher Reeve was also an aviation enthusiast who had his own Beechcraft Baron. And he transferred that enthusiasm to his screen persona, an ex WW1 pilot who, scarred by an incident, goes on to flying mail planes in the early 1920s.
Roseanne Arquette played the spoiled rich girl who becomes his first passenger.
They crash land in the Nevada mountains and the rest of the movie concerns their survival and both of their personal transformations.
If you'd like to get a good idea about the birth of commercial flying I'd recommend the movie.
