Wings of Courage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wings of Courage (1995) is the world's first dramatic picture shot in the IMAX-format. Additionally, it was the first 3D IMAX fiction film. It cost $20 million to make [1].

Directed by acclaimed French filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud and written by him along with scriptwriter Alain Godard, the 40-minute film tells the real-life story of early airmail pilot Henri Guillaumet (Craig Sheffer), whose small plane crashes in the Andes, forcing him to trek back to civilization on foot. Meanwhile we follow his family and friends at home and their growing concern for him. Elizabeth McGovern, Val Kilmer and Tom Hulce also star.
