After an acting career spanning more than fifty years, John Travolta is finally stepping behind the camera himself. Travolta makes his directorial debut with Apple’s Propeller One-Way Night Coach. It’s a film that’s deeply personal for the actor, as it’s based on the children’s book he wrote in 1997, and features his deep-rooted love of aviation.
Directed, written, and produced by Travolta, the family-friendly film centers on Jeff, a young aviation enthusiast played by newcomer Clark Shotwell. Jeff and his mother embark on a life-changing one-way cross-country flight to Hollywood during the height of the aviation age.
Also in the cast are Kelly Eviston-Quinnett , Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann.
An Apple Original Film, Propeller One-Way Night Coach premieres globally on Apple TV Friday, May 29th. Before that, it will have its world premiere at Cannes, where it’s nominated for the Caméra d’Or.
