Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies

Battle-scarred stunt pilot Cliff Robertson teaches his hero-worshipping son Eric Shea the tricks of his trade during the Roaring Twenties in this mediocre action adventure, notable for being based on a story by Steven Spielberg and for marking the screen debut of Broadway diva Bernadette Peters. Dogged by production problems and re-edited against director John Erman's wishes (the reason the name "Bill Sampson" appears on the credits), it's only worth catching for the breathtaking aerial photography.
