Blue Thunder

THE SKIES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

L.A. cop and helicopter pilot Frank Murphy (Roy Scheider) is ordered to attend a demonstration of a new advanced helicopter called ā€Blue Thunderā€; heā€™s impressed, but also wary of what it can doā€¦ A thriller with a serious theme under the hood ā€“ where are the limits to surveillance and militarizing the police? Our hero suffers from PTSD symptoms while uncovering a conspiracy, ultimately battling an old enemy from the Vietnam War up in the skies. Worth a look; the film provides some tension and an intense final half-hour with chases in and around Los Angeles.
