Robert Redford takes to the skies in this rousing adventure! Waldo Pepper (Redford) is a former WWI biplane pilot who feels he missed out on his chance to earn glory during the war and dreams of being the first man to perform the risky outside loop. Desperate for cash, he resorts to “barnstorming” with his unique style of aerial showmanship, but soon lands in Hollywood as a stunt pilot. When ace fighter pilot Ernst Kessler (Bo Brundin) is cast to recreate his famous dogfight in a Hollywood blockbuster, Waldo sees an opportunity to redeem his war record in a dramatic and death-defying airborne fight that proves to be a little too real. Directed by George Roy Hill (The Sting) and co-starring Susan Sarandon, Margot Kidder, Bo Svenson and Edward Herrmann, it’s a thrilling, pulse-pounding story about the dreamers and risk-takers of early aviation.

The Great Waldo Pepper Film Synopsis

A biplane pilot who had missed flying in WWI takes up barnstorming and later a movie career in his quest for the glory he had missed.

Italiano
Dopo la fine della prima guerra mondiale, numerosi assi dell'aviazione, pur di continuare a volare, si esibiscono in numeri acrobatici per folle in cerca di forti emozioni. Waldo Pepper (Redford) è uno di questi. Costretto al ritiro viene reclutato per partecipare a un film sulle gesta dei piloti in guerra, nel quale si troverà di fronte il suo nemico tedesco di un tempo: sarà il loro ultimo duello.

Français
Dans les années 1920, aux États-Unis, la vie de pilotes, anciens « héros de la grande guerre », et leurs diverses et difficiles reconversion professionnelles. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, l'aviateur Waldo Pepper gagne sa vie et satisfait sa passion pour le pilotage en donnant des spectacles aériens et des baptêmes de l'air aux citoyens de petites villes américaines. Il demeure secrètement blessé de n'être jamais devenu un grand as, ayant passé un long temps comme instructeur dans une école de pilotage. Par dépit, il prétend, durant ses spectacles, avoir survécu à un affrontement contre l'as allemand Ernst Kessler qui l'aurait chevaleresquement épargné en constatant que ses mitrailleuses s'étaient enrayées.

Deutsch
Waldo Pepper (Robert Redford) ist ein Stunt-Pilot, der gerne mit erfundenen Geschichten über Luftkämpfe im Ersten Weltkrieg angibt, den er in Wahrheit nur als Fluglehrer erlebt hat. Bei seiner Tour durch das Land trifft er auf den Konkurrenten Axel Olsson (Bo Svenson), nachdem er diesen durch einen Fehler seinerseits zu einer Bruchlandung im Dorfteich gezwungen hat. Mary Beth (Susan Sarandon) kann die beiden beiden Streithähne beruhigen. Durch die gemeinsame Fliegerleidenschaft werden die beiden schließlich zu Freunden und arbeiten schließlich gemeinsam für den Flugzirkus von Dr. Dillhoefer (Philip Bruns). Doch als es eines Tages zu einem tragischen Vorfall kommt, verliert Waldo seine Pilotlizenz und versucht fortan unter neuem Namen sein Glück als Stuntpilot in Hollywood. Dort bekommt er bei den Dreharbeiten zu einem Film, der die Luftkämpfe des Ersten Weltkrieges porträtiert, die Chance zu beweisen, was er wirklich drauf hat.

Español
1926. La Primera Guerra Mundial (1914-1918) ha popularizado la aviación, y algunos pilotos, una vez licenciados, intentan ganarse la vida con espectáculos aéreos cada vez más peligrosos debido a la competencia. Waldo Pepper es uno de ellos y sus acrobacias son cada vez más arriesgadas. Esto le crea problemas, porque las autoridades necesitan convencer al público de que el avión es un medio de transporte seguro a fin de impulsar el desarrollo de la aviación comercial. En estas circunstancias, el cine es la mejor salida para Waldo. (FILMAFFINITY)

Český
Waldo je nadšený průkopník létání, vydělává si pořádáním vyhlídkových letů, jenže rostoucí konkurence ho nutí vymýšlet stále atraktivnější postupy. Při jednom z nich, jakési letecké revue však zahyne dívka jeho přítele a Waldo čelí nařčení z neúmyslného zabití. Vzápětí při předvádění letounu vlastní konstrukce zahyne jeho přítel a Waldo konsternovaný jeho smrtí udělá další malér, po němž má doživotně zakázáno létat. Se změněným jménem se objevuje mezi leteckými kaskadéry, kde se setkává s německým válečným esem a svým idolem Ernstem Kesslerem.

עִבְרִית
סרט אישי מאוד של היל, שהוא עצמו טייס מנוסה. הוא מעלה אל הבד את סיפורו של אחד מגדולי הטייסים של ראשית המאה. פפר האמריקאי וארנסט קסלר הגרמני, מנסים לשחזר את קרב האוויר הדמיוני הגדול של מלחמת העולם הראשונה. זהו אחד הסרטים הבודדים בתולדות הקולנוע, שבהם אין משתמשים בטריקים של אולפן, אלא כל הצילומים אמיתיים, ללא בישולים - אמינות שהופכת את הסרט למעין באלט של תעופה.

Magyar
Az I. világháborút követő években a háborúban megedzett merész pilótáknak sokkal prózaibb mesterség után kellett nézniük: a "Repülő cirkusz" mutatványosaiként vakmerően kalandos vállalkozásokban kerestek életüknek új értelmet. Így tesz Waldo Pepper is, aki a földhözragadt mindennapok unalmas világa helyett minden tiltás ellenére a végtelen kék eget választja, magasban szállva a felhők fölött.

Dansk
I følge eget udsagn var Waldo Pepper en fandens flyverkarl under 1. Verdenskrig. Efter krigen turnerer han rundt i USA med et flyvershow. På grund af et uheld midster han sin licens og bliver i stedet stuntpilot. På filmsættet møder han den tyske pilot Ernst, som Waldo har påstået at have dræbt under krigen.

български език
Уолдо Пепър е бивши пилот от Първата световна война, който през 1926 г. прави каскади из страната за пари със своя двумоторен Curtiss JN-4. Той обича да преувеличава военните си подвизи като част от „маркетинга“ на бизнеса си и често разказва за това как се е бил с немския пилотен ас Ернст Кеслер. Най-близкият му приятел Езра Стайлс работи по дизайна на нов самолет, който да изпълнява опасни лупове, а Пепър да е първият, който ги прави. Интересът към каскадите обаче спада и пилотът е принуден да си партнира с бившия си конкурент Аксел Олсън.

Nederlands
The Great Waldo Pepper herenigt Robert Redford en regisseur George Roy Hill in een spannend epos van twee stuntvliegers uit de jaren '20. Waldo ( Robert Redford) verdient zijn geld met het uitvoeren van commerciële vluchten in Nebraska. Hij blinkt uit in het vertellen van sterke verhalen over zijn luchtgevechten met de befaamde Ernst Kessler tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Met zijn bevriende rivaal Alex bedenkt Waldo levensgevaarlijke stunts, waarbij Axel's vriendin een huiveringwekkende 'wing walking act' uitvoert. Waldo ziet uiteindelijk ook zijn grootste droom, een rechtsstreeks luchtduel met toppiloot Kessler, uitkomen. The Great Waldo Pepper is een indrukwekkende film met schitterende stunt- en luchtbeelden van Oscarwinnende schrijver William Goldman ( Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid) over vriendschap, heroiek en onbevreesde piloten.

"Lon Chaney is superb" (Leonard Maltin) as the hard-boiled sergeant with a heart of gold in this two-fisted tale of Marine Corps life, costarring William Haines and Eleanor Boardman. When Skeet Burns (Haines) joins the U.S. Marines, he winds up under Sergeant O'Hara (Chaney), the toughest leatherneck in the Corps., and both men fall for Navy nurse Norma Dale (Boardman). When they're stationed in the Philippines, Skeet's dalliance with a native girl (Carmel Myers) tips the scale in O'Hara's favor. Reassigned to China, the two must put their differences aside when they're ordered to Hangchow to rescue Norma and the nurses from a bandit leader (Warner Oland), whose gang has invaded the city. The first film made with the full cooperation of the Corps, Tell It to the Marines was Chaney's highest-grossing picture at MGM. His performance earned him the title of Honorary Marine, the first actor to receive it.
