The Rocketeer 30th Anniversary Review

June 23, 2021 by Jacob Krehbiel

This year marks the 30th anniversary of The Rocketeer, the cult classic superhero film from Disney directed by Joe Johnston, written by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo, and based on the graphic novel created by Dave Stevens. It tells the story of Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell), a cocky stunt pilot who, when he discovers a jetpack hidden in a biplane, straps the rocket on, dons a flashy helmet, and becomes the high-flying hero known as The Rocketeer. But when Nazis want to use that rocket as a weapon, he must use his alter ego to protect the beautiful, aspiring actress he’s in love with, Jenny Blake (Jennifer Connelly) from an evil movie star (Timothy Dalton) and save the day.
