If you loved Drop Zone, try Blue Thunder
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Badham, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Drop Zone, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Blue Thunder is
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.
