Description

Take the high road to adventure with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong in this freewheeling action-comedy set in the Roaring Twenties. Selleck stars as Patrick O'Malley, a boozing, washed-up aviator who meets his match when he's hired by a high-strung heiress to find her long lost father. They make their way eastward in O'Malley's WWI biplane, surviving narrow escapes, last second rescues, and combat with warlords along the way. But nothing tops the ongoing battle they have with each other - the one which leads inevitably to romance.

    This is an excellent movie, but I cannot see myself purchasing it until they process it in HD. Nuff said! Update: They really, really, really need to update this movie to HD. Not worth over 14 bucks for SD.
  • Not worth $14.99

    When he goes to the guru to get advice, the guru gives him the iconic response, "The oxen are slow...but the Earth is patient".

    I have five movies on every single gadget/device: Braveheart, Gladiator, Excalibur, Marvel Avengers & High Road to China. This is a 'must have' film for everybody, it has action, romance, suspense and magnificent cinematography with sweeping panoramic vistas (international) plus a musical score/soundtrack by John Barry. Seriously, what more could any moviegoer want? The storyline is well written, not an insult while the actors' portrayals are really convincing. Tom Selleck's character "ACE" is rough but yet loveable while suffering PTSD. Bess Armstrong's character is not very likeable at first, but she blossoms into a much more endearing woman as the film nears the end. The director's views and screenshots are absolutely perfect in every scene, nothing is excessive nor overdone...everything is just right. This is a very FAMILY FRIENDLY film, there is no nudity, no profanity & minimal violence. BUY IT! WATCH IT again & again.
