The Rocketeer

"The Rocketeer" is a 1991 Disney Film. The film takes place in 1938 Los Angeles. It tells the story of a pilot (Cliff Secord) and his heroic adventures after finding a hidden rocket. The rocket was developed by Howard Hughs as a way to fly with just the jetpack. German spies try to steal the rocket and Cliff is forced to use the rocket to save his girlfriend (Jenny) and prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands. During his adventures he exposes a German agent (Neville Sinclair) hidden amongst the Hollywood elite.

I choose the iconic scene from the movie of the airship flying over the Los Angeles skyline. This scene helped make this one of my favorite films as a young boy. The idea of being able to fly with just a jetpack is exciting and exhilarating.

I think this would make a wonderful lego set with wonderful playing opportunities. "The Rocketeer" would be a great mini figure hero.
