Fasten your seatbelts, make sure your tray tables are up, and get ready for take off with the Travoltas!
John Travolta’s directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this month before receiving a wide release thanks to Apple TV, and now have a first look, which you can watch above.
The film is based on the Grease star’s own children’s novel from back in 1997 that spotlights his love for aviation, and features him as the narrator, with a cast that includes Clark Shotwell, Kelly Eviston-Quinnett, Olga Hoffmann, and none other than his own daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta.
This isn’t the first time Ella has collaborated with her dad, 72, on screen, but her joining him for his directorial debut makes it a lot more personal, one based on his own work from decades prior as well.
A synopsis for the film, per Apple, reads: “Set in the golden age of aviation, a young airplane enthusiast, Jeff (Clark Shotwell), and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime.”
“Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy’s future.”
