Julian, a 14-year old teenager, dies surrounded by the colorful products of a huge supermarket. The film is inspired by a true story and shows the rebellion of the local youth against the bleak life of suburbia.
This fine mixture of romance, humor, tears, and exciting action sequences stars Kevin Costner and David Grant as brothers struggling to win the Hell of the West — a world-class cycling competition — while trying to regain the respect and affection they once shared. Training and racing together they each fear the congenital ailment that struck down their father could suddenly strike one of them. American Flyers is a spirit-soaring spectacle.
