The cop test pilot for an experimental police helicopter learns the sinister implications of the new vehicle. HE'S OUT THERE... FLYING THE MOST LETHAL WEAPON EVER MADE... In 1983, director John Badham (WarGames) followed his smash hit Saturday Night Fever with Blue Thunder, an adrenaline-packed fusion of techno-thriller grit and blockbuster spectacle. This tale of airborne surveillance and institutional overreach became a defining genre snapshot of Reagan-era anxiety, shot through with Hollywood muscle and a prescient distrust of unchecked technology. Roy Scheider (Jaws) stars as Frank Murphy, a veteran LAPD helicopter pilot picked to test-fly Blue Thunder, an experimental attack chopper bristling with unprecedented surveillance capabilities. When Murphy uncovers a covert plot to weaponize the aircraft for domestic policing, he takes to the skies in open rebellion. Hunted through the city by his own unit and shadowy government architects, Murphy's final patrol becomes a white-knuckle fight for justice - and survival. Co-starring Warren Oates (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), and Candy Clark (American Graffiti), Blue Thunder delivers heart-pounding suspense and sky-high stakes. A landmark of analog-age futurism, it remains a razor-sharp thrill ride that fires on all cylinders from beginning to end.

From John Badham, the acclaimed director of Saturday Night Fever, Dracula, Blue Thunder, Stakeout and Bird on a Wire, comes this action-packed crime-comedy starring Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future, The Secret of My Success), James Woods (Cop, The Onion Field), Stephen Lang (Tombstone, Don’t Breathe) and Annabella Sciorra (Jungle Fever, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle). Nick Lang (Fox) is a popular movie star who joins forces with tough New York detective John Moss (Woods) in order to break out of his “nice guy” screen image. On the trail of a ruthless serial killer (Lang), the last thing Moss needs is a pampered Hollywood sidekick, who he finds superficial and irritating. The stellar cast also includes Luis Guzmán (The Limey), LL Cool J (Deep Blue Sea), Delroy Lindo (Clockers), Penny Marshall (TV’s Laverne & Shirley), Christina Ricci (The Addams Family) and Lewis Black (Man of the Year).
