About this movie

Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. are two renegade pilots ensnared in the madness of covert operations over Laos during the Vietnam conflict. They lead the crew of AIR AMERICA, a not-so-secret airline that drops everything from live pigs to opium over villages throughout the Vietnam countryside. Join Mel, Robert and the crazy crew of wartime flyer in the funniest action-comedy since Lethal Weapon 2 and Good Morning Vietnam.

Ratings and reviews

One of my favorite movies of all time. Although not entirely true (I imagine its honestly hard to ever tell what actually happened anyways with any CIA story.) it's still a great story from an otherwise rarely discussed part of history. Its got great actors too. Truly enjoyable movie and hate that it always gets overlooked. Plus I think today more than ever it's an important story to remember and hopefully learn from. Anything! Anytime! Anywhere!

If you haven't seen this one treat yourself to some fun & laughter with just a tinge of drama, the way movies used to be made...! Who knows, if you have a brain and it is still in working condition and you don't take yourself so dang seriously, "You Might" just enjoy this little gem when it get's you thinking about just how much reality there may be included and how life might have really been in that region and time...If you've studied history the way it really happened...?

nice movie it shows some dark usa secrets in laos
