  • "Robert Redford takes to the skies in this rousing adventure! Waldo Pepper (Robert Redford) is a former WWI biplane pilot who feels he missed out on his chance to earn glory during the war and dreams of being the first man to perform the risky outside loop. Desperate for cash, he resorts to "barnstorming" with his unique style of aerial showmanship, but soon lands in Hollywood as a stunt pilot. When ace fighter pilot Ernst Kessler (Bo Brundin) is cast to recreate his famous dogfight in a Hollywood blockbuster, Waldo sees an opportunity to redeem his war record in a dramatic and death-defying airborne fight that proves to be a little too real. Directed by George Roy Hill (The Sting) and co-starring Susan Sarandon, Margot Kidder, Bo Svenson and Edward Herrmann, it's a thrilling, pulse-pounding story about the dreamers and risk-takers of early aviation."@en

  • ""Redford plays Waldo Pepper, a former WWI pilot who takes up barnstorming across America, performing spins, spirals and death-defying loops to make a living. An accident involving a young stunt lady, Mary Beth, forces Pepper to cancel his show, but he finds work as a stunt pilot in a Hollywood film depicting the air battles of the Great War. Famous German air ace Ernst Kessler has also been hired, and Waldo and Kessler begin dog fighting in deadly earnest when recreating a famous wartime duel. Stunning cinematography and a sterling performance from the roguish Redford make this one of the great aerial adventure films"--Container."
