The Rocketeer is quite probably Disney's most underrated live action film. More action-adventure than superhero movie, this is a period epic that is heavy on action & humor. The release of this all new Blu-ray is in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the films release, which is truly hard to believe. Time has been incredibly kind to the film considering that it still seems fresh, fun and relevant, as do the films main players. Another very cool aspect of this fan favorite is that it serves as a solid companion piece or even pseudo-prequel to director Joe Johnston's latest superhero-action-epic; Captain America: The First Avenger.
Synopsis: Celebrate the 20th anniversary of director Joe Johnston’s action-filled, witty The Rocketeer. Now with state-of-the-art digital restoration and enhanced high definition sound, experience it as it jets off for the first time on Disney Blu-ray™.
