The Rocketeer (1991)

A little slow to start (I watched in two sittings and the second was definitely more engaging than the first), The Rocketeer picks up once stunt pilot Billy Campbell straps the rocket pack onto his back to become the Rocketeer. Trying to avoid the FBI, the Mob, and Nazis, he needs to keep the pack just long enough to save his girl played by Jennifer Connelly. It’s a decent family adventure with lots of 1930s Art Deco details. Extra camp provided by Timothy Dalton as an Errol Flynn-inspired Golden-Age Hollywood star.
