The
Rocketeer (1991): I love these 1930s-era superhero
adventures! This superhero movie is special because the character
doesn't follow the usual superhero pattern. He doesn't have super
powers and he's not a vigilante. He's just a regular guy who
happens to fall into something beyond his comprehension. An
aviator discovers a jet pack designed by billionaire Howard
Hughes. This device was made with intentions of helping America
win an upcoming World War with Germany. Everybody wants this jet
pack: the U.S. government, gangsters, and Nazis. The
coincidental aviator puts on this jet pack, creates a protective
helmet, and becomes the superhero "The Rocketeer" who, while keeping
the jet pack away from the bad guys, continually saves the day with
brave heroics. Bill Campbell is the Rocketeer, Jennifer Connelly
is his girlfriend Jenny, and Timothy Dalton is villain Neville
Sinclair. Neville is a popular movie actor who uses his superstar
status to serve him as a top Nazi spy. He uses aspiring actress
Jenny to get to the Rocketeer.
Throughout
the course of the movie you'll get to see the glamorous side of 1930s
Hollywood as well as the rustic, but charming life of rural
aviators. Plenty of action and a great story! All the
actors give top-notch performances. Jennifer Connelly has never
looked HOTTER!
The movie
climaxes in a Nazis vs. gangsters and feds showdown. The
Rocketeer has to fly after Jenny and stop Neville, who are both on a
zeppelin leaving Hollywood. What happens after that you'll have
to see for yourself if you don't already know. Simply said, you
MUST SEE "The Rocketeer"!
