Flyboys (film)
Flyboys is a 2006 war drama film starring James Franco, Martin Henderson, David Ellison, Jennifer Decker and Jean Reno. It was directed by Tony Bill, a pilot and aviation enthusiast, and written by Phil Sears, Blake T. Evans, and David S. Ward. Set during World War I, the film follows the enlistment, training, and combat experiences of a group of young Americans who volunteered to become fighter pilots in the Lafayette Escadrille, the 124th air squadron formed by the French in 1916.
Flyboys was released on September 22, 2006 by MGM. It received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized the performances, screenplay and visual effects. It was a box-office bomb, grossing $18 million against its $60 million budget.
In 1916, a group of Americans go to France to serve in the French Air Service, L'Aéronautique militaire, in World War I. They are placed under the command of Captain Georges Thenault, with veteran flying ace Reed Cassidy as their mentor.
Pilot Blaine Rawlings runs out of fuel on a practice flight and crashes. He meets a young woman named Lucienne and the two develop a relationship. She expresses concern about the dangers of his service.
During the recruits' first mission – escorting bombers to attack a German ammunition depot in Jametz – they are ambushed by German warplanes, and two of the rookies are killed. A third makes an emergency landing but is killed on the ground by "the Black Falcon" – a German pilot flying a black aircraft. The chivalrous German pilot Franz Wolferd shakes his head in disapproval.
In a later battle, Rawlings' machine gun jams while he is chasing Wolferd. Wolferd flies alongside and salutes before banking away. Higgins is killed in the battle, and Jensen suffers an emotional breakdown and is unable to fly again.
The French military learn that Beagle faked his personal information and he is accused of being a spy. He comes clean about a crime he committed in the United States, and is allowed to stay on.
Germans warplanes attack a column of civilians, and the American pilots intercept them. Rawlings initially spares Wolferd, but later kills him when Wolferd dives after another American pilot. Beagle is brought down in no man's land, and his hand is trapped by the wreckage. Rawlings lands but he and some French soldiers are unable to free him, until Rawlings is forced to amputate Beagle's hand.
