Relámpago Azul

Downtown L.A. + dusk + rotor wash. A haunted vet gets tapped to test Blue Thunder, a new combat-ready helicopter. Soon he suspects a sinister agenda behind the craft's development and the reasons for its deployment over the city. A propulsive, preposterous action movie now mostly notable as a Reagan-era fever dream.
