| User ReviewJack KA true story about aviation history and betrayal, American manipulation and the weakness and ineptitude of Prime Minister Diefenbaker and the Progressive Conservative Party. |
| User ReviewJoseph DPerhaps Canada's greatest achievment in aviation history. This is an excelent movie. I was suprised it was only made for Television. I'm sure it would have done well in the box office |
| User ReviewPrivate UI dunno what to say makes me angry is a plane that woulda help Canada into new age of aerospace and engineering unmanned missiles pffft |
| User ReviewColin Sone of my other favorite docudrama's with virtually the same storyline as my other favorite movie Tucker The man and his Dream |
| User ReviewAl AAwesome flick. Canadian government screws up what would have made Canada a power in aviation & aerospace. |
| User ReviewStephani SGreat movie, although like any docudrama or biopic there are a few things that needs to be taken with a grain of salt. |
| User ReviewScott OWorth it just to see Dan Aykroyd mangle speaking French. Overall, an enjoyable if frustrating film. Enjoyable because they give you some characters and situations you can really get behind and enjoy. Frustrating because it's far too late to go and give Diefenbaker the kick in the ass he so richly needed. |
| User ReviewPaul EDecent, one-sided, interesting, colourful, could be more historically accurate, and not as politically correct. This movie is worth seeing for the sake of the story but it's typically the canadian myth at work. |
| User ReviewJesse Lwe had it all then threw it all away..i miss the old canada |
| User ReviewScott CThe story of the greatest technical achievement in Canadian history and the greatest blunder of the country's government |
