Notes
"American Flyers", Rex Reed wrote, "is a fine mixture of romance, humor and tears with action sequences among the most exciting ever captured on film." Written by Breaking Away Oscar winner Steve Tesich and directed by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever), American Flyers is a spirit-soaring spectacle.
