The dangerous mission transforms the ordinary young man into an extraordinary hero!

Based on a retro-styled comic book hit of the '80s, this Disney film was meant to launch a whole line of Rocketeer films--but the series began and ended with this one. That's too bad, because this underrated Joe Johnston film has a certain loopy charm. The story centers on a pre-World War II stunt pilot (Bill Campbell) who accidentally comes into possession of a rocket-propelled backpack much coveted by the Nazis. With the aid of his mechanic pal (Alan Arkin), he gets it up and running, then uses it to foil a plot by a gang of vicious Nazi spies (is there any other kind?) led by Timothy Dalton. Jennifer Connelly is on hand as the love interest, but the real fun here is when the Rocketeer takes off. There's also a nifty battle atop an airborne blimp. --Marshall Fine

- A great movie
If you like fast-paced action movies this is your movie. Imagine a young man in the early 40s finding a rocket device and using it for good against evil. You've got a beautiful Jennifer Connelly and a very evil Timothy Dalton with a sprinkling of early mobsters. If you haven't seen this movie you're really missing a fantastic adventure experience.

- loved the gee bee race plane
I like this movie, it has some cool airplanes in it, the acters are great, the girl looks good, the bad guys are really bad, just a great action adventure that has some interesting twists. I would recommend buying the dvd. I watch it when ever I get bored with what is on television.

- Before 'The Aviator,' there was 'The Rocketeer.'
`The Rocketeer' is a really fine piece of escapist cinema that, in slightly better world, would have made a lot more money for the studio. But to the misfortune of Disney, this film was released about 10 minutes before `Terminator 2.' The producers of `T2' cynically calculated that the summertime movie-going public, dominated as it is by adolescent males, would prefer the steroid-saturated sadism of Arnold Schwarzenegger. `T2' stole the audience from this film, and `The Rocketeer' quickly faded ...
