John Denver is a troubled FBI agent and the story is about hiim getting involved in his former partner's air service in Alaska. Story is good, Denver's couple of songs he sings as part of the plot are excellent. Denver's passion for flying comes through in the movie. Scenery is beautiful. I enjoyed it. Better than most non-actor public figures' movies.

TV pilot for possible series that never came about. You will see why. Ridiculous plot, amateurish acting, lousy screenplay, phony action (especially fight scenes). There is one John Denver song that isn't bad. The real stars of this show are the Otter and Beaver floatplanes and the scenery they fly above. Nice vertical wingover by the Beaver inside a narrow fjord. Worth the watch just for that.
