American Flyers/Victory
Before he stepped to the plate in Bull Durham or teed off in Tin Cup, Kevin Costner leaned into the curve and rode like the wind in American Flyers, an exciting tale set in the competitive world of elite bicycle racing. John Badham (Saturday Night Fever) directs from a script by Steven Tesich (Breaking Away). And a ragtag team of World War II Allied POWs takes on German all-stars in a soccer match intended to prove Aryan superiority in Victory. Legendary John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen) directs Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow, real-life soccer greats (including Pele) and others. Go-o-o-o-oal!
