Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a movie about air delivery: airdrop by parachutes, and amazing short field landings by STOL aircraft like the amazing Pilatus TurboPorter and the larger C-123. If you like Airborne things, this movie is for you, its funny and upbeat compared to your typical Vietnam movie and in a way does greater honor to the courage of the pilots who lived on the edge while flying these hairy missions. The TurboPorter landing on the side of the mountain makes the whole movie worthwhile...add to it '60s music and sexy Nancy Travis, what more do you want?
I find this movie far more interesting than the Lethal Weapon series, so it soars in my book as one of Mel Gibson's best movies.

Mel Gibson and Robert Downey, Jr. are two renegade pilots ensnared in the madness of covert operations over Laos during the Vietnam conflict.They lead the crew of AIR AMERICA, a not-so-secret airline that drops everything from live pigs to opium over villages throughout the Vietnam countryside.Join Mel, Robert and the crazy crew of wartime flyers in the funniest action-comedy since "Lethal Weapon 2" and "Good Morning, Vietnam."
