American Flyers

"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. It's guaranteed to increase the viewer's adrenalin."

Two-time Academy Award® winner* Kevin Costner and David Grant star as brothers struggling to win a world-class cycling competition - and regain the respect and affection they once shared. The painful events surrounding their father's death have caused a rift. To bridge the gap, both enter the Hell of the West, a grueling race through the Rocky Mountains. While training and racing together, each confronts the fear that the congenital ailment that struck down their father could suddenly strike one of them. Written by Breaking Away Oscar® winner* Steve Tesich and directed by John Badham (Saturday Night Fever), American Flyers is a dazzling, spirit-soaring spectacle.
