About
Air America was the CIA's private airline operating in Laos during the Vietnam War, running anything and everything from soldiers to foodstuffs for local villagers. After losing his pilot's license, Billy Covington is recruited, and ends up in the middle of a bunch of lunatic pilots, gun-running by his friend Gene Ryack, and opium smuggling by his own superiors.
This chaotic blend of jungle warfare and slapstick absurdity subverts the typical serious war drama. Expect a frantic, drug-fueled flight through Southeast Asia where the pilots are often more dangerous than the enemy.
