Summary: The best movie about helicopters
Review: (...)I've seen this movie many many times, since I was a little boy. My dad is a helicopter pilot and he taped this movie on new year's eve, so he could see in the other day. Awesome, because I don't see any DVDs available so far. With it's storyline shifting between the US and Mexico, Sam Hooten (Larry Hagman) pilots a Hughes 500 series helicopter. He an ex-army pilot who now flies on his own. The story is pretty simple: Sam must protect an old girlfriend (Chris Butler, played by Susan Anspach) - who married a rich gangster - from other gangsters, flying her from USA to Mexico City. The great thing about this movie is the helicopter scenes; with amazing maneuvers and a lot of dogfighting. The movie gets to it's climax when Sam and Chris find themselves trapped by the gangsters and call Sam's old army buddies for help. This movie is worth watching because of the helicopters and planes. A real good classic.

Summary: Astounding Helicopter Flying Sequences
Review: Absolutely phenomenal helicopter flying in this movie! I am a helicopter pilot and I take my hat off to the pilots performing the sequences in this movie. A must for all aviation enthusiasts and other flying nuts. Mediocre storie line - but worth getting.
