Movie Review: Rocketeer- my favourite film
Summary: 5 Stars
The story of an unfortunate pilot who loses his prize racing plane when the FBI chase a crook across his airfield. Later he discovers what he was running away with- a rocket pack belonging to Howard Hughes! The billionaire is about to shelve the project due to shortcomings in its design, but our pilot modifies it to compensate for the problem. After that he becomes the Rocketeer when he uses it to save a man from certain death at the air show. Everybody wants to know who he is, but nobody seems to have a clue until...
Summary of Rocketeer [VHS]
The discovery of a top-secret jetpack hurls test pilot Cliff Secord into a daring adventure of mystery, suspense, and intrigue! Cliff encounters an assortment of ruthless villains, led by a Hollywood screen star who's a secret Nazi spy (Timothy Dalton). With the help of his actress girlfriend, the young pilot battles enormous odds to defeat his foes who are anxious to use the device in an evil plan to rule the world! The dangerous mission transforms the ordinary young man into an extraordinary hero!Based on a retro-styled comic book hit of the '80s, this Disney film was meant to launch a whole line of Rocketeer films--but the series began and ended with this one. That's too bad, because this underrated Joe Johnston film has a certain loopy charm. The story centers on a pre-World War?II stunt pilot (Bill Campbell) who accidentally comes into possession of a rocket-propelled backpack much coveted by the Nazis. With the aid of his mechanic pal (Alan Arkin), he gets it up and running, then uses it to foil a plot by a gang of vicious Nazi spies (is there any other kind?) led by Timothy Dalton. Jennifer Connelly is on hand as the love interest, but the real fun here is when the Rocketeer takes off. There's also a nifty battle atop an airborne blimp. --Marshall Fine
