Rocketeer (1991)

Rocketeer: Directed by Joe Johnston. With Billy Campbell, Jennifer Connelly, Alan Arkin, Timothy Dalton. A young pilot stumbles onto a prototype jetpack that allows him to become a high-flying masked hero.

“This movie has the tendency to fly off the screen at you, especially if you saw it on the big screen like I did. I was 9 years old when the Rocketeer came out, and after seeing it I couldnu0026#39;t help but day dream about flying, and winning over the girl. Of course I tended to have the same day dreams after watching Superman the movie. But this film is a little different. It seemed more believable to me, as a kid, in that it incorporated some semi historical facts with the story line. I believe it to be one of Disneyu0026#39;s finnest films, perhaps a modern epic. Itu0026#39;s one of those films youu0026#39;ve got to watch at least once a year. However I do have a question concerning it, u0026quot;How did the Rocketeer manage with all those flames blasting at his ass?u0026quot;”
