Definitely a film worth seeing, though a little hokey and "movie cliché" in places (particularly specific lines of narration and dialogue). The visual aspects of the film, particularly the scenes featuring the characters flying the gliders are absolutely breathtaking, though the scene featuring the famous first powered flight is cut short for some reason as the plane is lifting off.
I will not provide a complete review as others have done.I am most impressed with the video footage of the early Wright aircraft flying.
Here's another film that still hasn't come out on DVD that I would love to see in that format. Few people, I gather, have seen this in any format since my review is only the third on this website even though the movie was made almost 30 years ago.
A nice little TV movie. Entertaining and informative, but hardly accurate or complete.
The only dramatic film on the Wright Brothers and their pioneering success with the aeroplane. This is a made for television movie shot in color.
