Wings of Courage 1995 G, 40 min.
Genre: Adventure
Director: Jean-Jacques Annaud
Cast: Craig Sheffer, Elizabeth McGovern, Tom Hulce, Val Kilmer, Ken Pogue, Ron Sauve
Set in the 1930s, the story of an early aviator is told. His mail plane crashes in the Andes and he fights to survive. The story, based on a true adventure, is boring, but is worth at least one extra star for the beautiful presentation. It is the first "fictionalized" movie ever shown in 3D IMAX, and this alone makes it worth watching (as long as you watch it on the five-story-high IMAX).
