Blue Thunder

Blue Thunder is a specially modified helicopter. It's makers want to show what it will do, but have to train a Los Angeles Police pilot Ben Murphy (Rot Scheider), to fly and use it in order to allow it to operate in the city.

Murphy and the project pilot have differences going back to Vietnam. The conflict between them continues to heat up as Murphy begins to suspect that Blue Thunder is more than has been disclosed.

Critic Reviews:

• " A somewhat erratic thriller that improves steadily as it progresses. " – David Nusair

• " I've always had a weakness for Blue Thunder, which seemed terribly exciting during my teen years. " – Forrest Hartman

• " Despite some big lapses in logic, Blue Thunder is a thrilling action-adventure with a smart, cynical attitude and a villain (Malcolm McDowell) you'll just love to hate. " – Chuck O'Leary
