Just as much fun as I remembered!
A little disappointed we didn’t get another adventure, but I guess once a guy with a jet on his back defeats the Nazis, where else can you go with it?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A swashbuckling adventure that captures the pure joy of flight and the thrill of a small-time stunt pilot discovering he's capable of extraordinary things. It's earnest fun with genuine stakes, balancing fantastical spectacle against a grounded 1930s Los Angeles setting.
