The Aviator - Crash in the Wilderness

America, 1928: Edgar, a secretive mail pilot, suffers from an earlier flying accident that has left him scarred inside and out. One day he has to carry the spoiled millionaire's daughter Tillie, with whom he spontaneously shares a deep mutual dislike. After their plane crashes in the mountains of Idaho, they both have to realise that they can only survive together: Not only is food scarce in this remote wilderness and rescue teams still far away, but a pack of hungry wolves is out to get them.

Adventure story by Scottish director George Miller (not to be confused with the Australian "Mad Max" Miller), in which the sometimes predictability of the plot is made up for by impressive landscape shots. Cinematographer David Connell succeeds in conveying the cold atmosphere of the mountain world in a sympathetic way. As an airman marked by the past, Christopher Reeves is light years away from his glamorous "Superman" role, while Jack Warden is convincing as Reeves' boss.
