Most helpful review American Flyers

A great 80's film!

By a customer from England , 16 May 2007

[Highly rated reviewer]

This is such a great film and yet so difficult to purchase or find anywhere! The basic storyline follow two brothers who have lived apart for a long time due to various differences, as they get together to train for a big cycle race through the american country.

However, there is more to the story than this and the film really revolves around the fact that one of the brothers is very ill. I cant say much more than that without spoiling the film though.

The film features a very young Kevin Costna and some other well know actors of past years. The acting is good, the storyline is interesting and believable and there is a great cheesy 80's soundtrack. What more could you want?
