The Wright brothers, Wilbur (Michael Moriarty) and Orville (David Huffman), have a flair for invention, and they turn their skills toward aeronautics. Experimenting with creating the first airplane, they face competition from other like-minded pioneers. Eventually, they successfully launch their first flight in North Carolina, marking a momentous event in aviation history. While the brothers continue to develop their flight technology, they must deal with newfound attention that comes with it.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
