About this product

Product Information

FLYBOYS is a good old-fashioned historical drama concerning the Lafayette Escadrille, a French regiment of American volunteer airmen serving the allied cause in WWI before the U.S. became officially involved. James Franco plays Blaine, a Texas rancher; he bunks with Eugene (Abdul Salis), an African American boxer whose been living in Paris as an ex-patriate to get away from American racism. Other fighters include a pampered New York scion (Tyler Labine) and a lanky, lazy Kansan (David Ellison). They all train under the patient hand of the French commander, succinctly embodied by the wondrous Jean Reno (THE PROFESSIONAL). Martin Henderson (TORQUE) is good and brusque as a jaded flier with a bunch of kills under his belt and an obsession with an ace German fighter; he wont let the new kids drink in the officer's club until they've shot down their first planes. It all unfolds in a no-nonsense linear narrative that reminds one of early films like THE DAWN PATROL (1930) and WINGS (1927); and there's a comfortingly familiar orchestral score that's heavy with the cloud-invoking wooden flute. But the CGI-enhanced aerial dogfight scenes are the crux of the biscuit here, and history fans should be frothing at the mouth with all the zeppelins, dogfights and enemy chivalry. There's plenty of well-researched period detail and even some ooh-la la romance in the form of a good girl gone semi-bad from a nearby brothel (the very charming Jennifer Decker).

  • Flyboys

    Flyboys is about the Layfayette Escadrille and is the allies answer to "The Blue Max". Great WW1 film about Americans who went to France before America entered WW1 to join French Air Force. The cowboy from Texas down on his luck, the rich kid sent by dad to become a man, the black expatriate who's a prizefighter in France and wants to "give back" to the country that accepted him and the rest. Great characterizations, great scenery and GRRRRRRREAT ACTION SEQUENCES! This film ranks with best of WW1 films I've seen. The air battles are some of the best ever filmed of the multiwinged old timey aeroplanes. New digital effects transform the action into megathrills and put you in the sky in the middle of amazing dogfights, bombing support missions and Zeppelin raids. Try it, it's a slice of ...

  • Great Movie you can watch over and over !!!

    I love this movie it is full of energy and great acting. This is a great sacrifice to keep freedom alive in france during world war one these men were brave an hero's beyound all mean's to put there lives on the line for other's. These were are first aces ever they flew machines that would pave the way to the future of air craft now we rule the sky's and that is a major play to keeping freedom free. This is history and should never be forgot for any reason This movie catches your attension and takes you for a hell of a ride !!!

  • A great movie!

    Bought this one mainly for my pilot husband, but we both really liked it. Our favorite thing about it is that it's based on a true story. It's a riveting tale of life and death and all it involves...love, hate, pride, humor, jealousy, friendship, suffering, kindness, prejudice, sacrifice, sadness, giving, loss, and passion. It's suspenseful and entertaining, yet filled with history. The only thing we didn't like was the volume level, which at times was so low, we had to replay it several times to hear what was being said.

  • I loved Flyboys !

    I loved this movie because i have always loved the aircraft used in World War One.The movie without giving up the story has something to offer both men and women.You have friendships brought together because of the war,a love story and some great aerial fight scenes.This movie even brought a tear to my eye a few times.I found myself at times wandering what it would be like to fly back then and the fear they must have experienced each time they went up.Worth watching.
