THis is one of the few Hollywood versions

THis is one of the few Hollywood versions of what took place. It accurately portrays the Wrights in personality. While I believe it's a little harsh on Glenn Curtiss, it is essentially accurate.

A nice little TV movie. Entertaining and informative, but hardly accurate or complete

Reviewed by robbla1981 9 / 10

definitely worth seeing

definitely a film worth seeing, though a little hokey and "movie cliché" in places (particularly specific lines of narration and dialogue). The visual aspects of the film, particularly the scenes featuring the characters flying the gliders are absolutely breathtaking, though the scene featuring the famous first powered flight is cut short for some reason as the plane is lifting off.Because the film was made in the late 1970s, there are few visual effects shots (aside from the scene depicting Orville's crash, which is clearly a model). Consequently, many of the flying scenes feature real actors in very accurately designed prop gliders. This adds a sense of realism and gives the film a better sense of credibility.I saw it as a young kid, and was inspired to learn more about the Wright Brothers and airplanes. Hopefully someone reading this will show it to their kid and they will have the same experience.
