In order to really enjoy this 1981 obscurity you have to understand it's not the story of the famous hijacker that pulled off the only unsolved hijacking in aviation history but a fictional imagining of what happened to him once he hit the ground. In a nutshell, it's a cat and mouse chase between Robert Duvall who plays the insurance investigator on Treat Williams tail, who plays our infamous bandit. Most of the action takes place outdoors and the locations and direction here are all top notch.
For several decades, the film was a collector's item as it was only available on VHS, never on DVD. I remember paying twenty-five for a copy in 2007. This all changed when it was released into the streaming world a few years back. Currently streaming on Tubi for free. File this one under "overlooked" and then have a look, ha ha. 3.0 stars/5
