About

Synopsis

The Rocketeer (1991) is Joe Johnston's adventure fantasy that you can watch online on iFILM. A stunt pilot stumbles onto a rocket-powered jetpack and takes to the sky with no wings at all.

Los Angeles, the late 1930s. Young flyer Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell) hides the secret device inside his biplane, and suddenly everyone wants it: FBI agents, mobsters, and Nazi spies. The trail leads to suave screen idol Neville Sinclair, played by Timothy Dalton with the icy polish of a perfect villain. Cliff's girlfriend, aspiring actress Jenny (Jennifer Connelly), gets pulled in as bait. With Alan Arkin's gruff mechanic at his side, Cliff fights to keep the pack and the girl.

Johnston built a retro blockbuster from Dave Stevens' comic: brass helmets, zeppelins, big-band jazz, and the wide-eyed scale of aviation's golden age. Years before Captain America, the director was already perfecting his nostalgic brand of heroics. Stream The Rocketeer (1991) online on iFILM.
