I watched this movie after my interest in skydiving turned into more of an obsession than a mere hobby. It is a great movie. It had a lot more sex than I expected from a movie from 1968, but it was approached in a mature and realistic manner. The DVD has a cool documentary called "The Skydivers" that explains the men behind all the awesome freefalling cinematography. It also includes an insightful commentary track from the film's director. Gene Hackman is great in this movie as the hard partying Catholic stuntman. Burt Lancaster is relied as more of a stoic and recognizable force than a heavy-handed performance. See this movie.

Super old classic movie. I love Burt Lancaster and Gene Hackman. I used to skydive in my younger days, and this movie tells it like it used to be!

this movie was very good. People that did this "Barnstorming" it the early years really put their lives on the line. You would really like to jump from a airplane as much as they did.
My hat goes off for a well done picture.

I haven't received this movie yet. I saw it when it was made and loved it. Some of my friends are the skydivers.

As all the films of this outstanding filmmaker, there's always a personal landmark behind stages; that decade found him betting for extreme sports; Grand Prix and then "The Gypsy moths", but with an enormous existential background behind. These brave men who defy the heights, love the danger in a very special way, the aerial acrobatics are fantastic, with a splendid edition work, on the other hand there will be three love affairs along the road which thickens the plot in its central section, but the expected exhibition on July 4th is by far, the essential dramatic nucleus of the movie.
In hands of any other filmmaker this film would have remained bellow the carpet, but Frankenheimer impressed it his author's sign.
Burt Lancaster is terrific in his role, Hackman began to rise and Scott Wilson looks very credible: kudos for Deborah Kerr in a brief but remarkable performance and a very young and alluring teenager named Bonnie Bedelia illuminates trhe scree with her serene beauty.
Mesmerizing flying scenes makes of this movie a gratifying work in a very quiet Kansas town.
