Air America Blu-Ray

Billy Covington (Robert Downey Jr.) is a helicopter pilot in a big city who reports traffic conditions for a radio station but loses his license due to a traffic incident on the motorway. Billy longs to fly for real and is recruited by the government to a secret and safe (he thinks) civilian airline in Laos. He knows he will get his license back if he agrees to do it and signs up. When he arrives in Laos, he soon befriends pilot Gene Ryack (Mel Gibson) and realizes that Air America is not quite what it seems. Instead of transporting civilians, the real cargo is food, money, ammunition, and napalm, and the pilots risk their lives on a daily basis.
