The Rocketeer
One sheet, The Rocketeer
is a 1991 American superhero film based on the comic book character of the same name created by Dave Stevens. The movie is set in 1938 Los Angeles and tells the story of stunt pilot Cliff Secord, who discovers a stolen rocket pack that allows him to fly. He must use his new abilities to thwart Nazi spies, led by a famous Hollywood actor, who want to use the rocket for an evil plan.
The film was directed by Joe Johnston and stars Billy Campbell as Cliff Secord, Jennifer Connelly as his girlfriend Jenny Blake, and Timothy Dalton as the villain, Neville Sinclair. Although it was not a box office success, the film received positive reviews and has since become a cult classic. The Art Deco style of the film's production design is also a notable feature, with the poster reflecting this aesthetic.
The visual style of the poster is an homage to the artistic styles of the 1930s, the era in which the film is set. The artist, John Mattos, won an award for the poster, which was named one of the 100 best movie posters of all time by the American Film Institute.
The film is available on home video formats and is also available to stream. A television series based on the film, with Billy Campbell reprising his role as the voice of Cliff's father, premiered in 2019.
