American Flyers
Kevin Costner and David Grant play brothers struggling to win the Hell of the West, a world class cycling competition - and regain the respect and affection they once shared. While training and racing together, each fears the congenital ailment that struck down their father could suddenly strike one of them. Written by Steve Tesich ("Breaking Away"). "American Flyers," Rex Reed wrote, "is a fine mixture of romance, humour and tears with action sequences among the most exciting ever captured on film."
