His heroic deeds soon attract the attention of <a href="/wiki/Howard_Hughes" title="Howard Hughes">Howard Hughes</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">FBI</a>, who are hunting for the missing rocket pack, as well as the <a href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</a> operatives who stole it from Hughes. </p><p>Development for <i>The Rocketeer</i> started as far back as 1983, when Stevens sold the <a href="/wiki/Film_rights" title="Film rights">film rights</a> to the character. <a href="/wiki/Steve_Miner" title="Steve Miner">Steve Miner</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Dear" title="William Dear">William Dear</a> considered directing <i>The Rocketeer</i> before Johnston signed on. Screenwriters <a href="/wiki/Danny_Bilson" title="Danny Bilson">Danny Bilson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Paul_De_Meo" title="Paul De Meo">Paul De Meo</a> had creative differences with Disney, causing the film to languish in <a href="/wiki/Development_hell" title="Development hell">development hell</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The studio also intended to change the trademark helmet design; Disney CEO <a href="/wiki/Michael_Eisner" title="Michael Eisner">Michael Eisner</a> wanted a straight <a href="/wiki/NASA" title="NASA">NASA</a>-type helmet, but Johnston convinced the studio otherwise. Johnston also had to convince Disney to let him cast actor Billy Campbell in the lead role. Filming for <i>The Rocketeer</i> lasted from September 19, 1990, to January 22, 1991. The <a href="/wiki/Visual_effects" title="Visual effects">visual effects</a> sequences were created and designed by <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Light_%26_Magic" title="Industrial Light & Magic">Industrial Light & Magic</a> and supervised by animation director <a href="/wiki/Wes_Takahashi" title="Wes Takahashi">Wes Takahashi</a>. </p><p>The film was released on June 21, 1991, and received positive reviews from critics.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Plans for <i>Rocketeer</i> sequels were abandoned after the film underperformed at the box office, grossing only $46 million on a $35 million budget. However, a <a href="/wiki/The_Rocketeer_(TV_series)" title="The Rocketeer (TV series)">television series</a> based on the film, with Campbell reprising his role, premiered on <a href="/wiki/Disney_Junior" class="mw-redirect" title="Disney Junior">Disney Junior</a> in November 2019.

During their escape from the pursuing police, the getaway driver quickly stops and hides the rocket in a <a href="/wiki/Biplane" title="Biplane">biplane</a>'s cockpit at an airfield. As the chase continues, <a href="/wiki/Stunt_pilot" class="mw-redirect" title="Stunt pilot">stunt pilot</a> Cliff Secord's yellow and black <a href="/wiki/Granville_Gee_Bee_Model_Z_Super_Sportster" title="Granville Gee Bee Model Z Super Sportster">Gee Bee Z</a> <a href="/wiki/Monoplane" title="Monoplane">monoplane</a> is destroyed, ending his air-racing career. Film star Neville Sinclair hires Valentine's gang to steal the rocket, and sends his monstrous henchman Lothar to find its location. Meanwhile, Cliff and his <a href="/wiki/Aircraft_maintenance_technician" title="Aircraft maintenance technician">airplane mechanic</a>, Peevy, find the rocket and begin testing it. </p><p>Cliff's girlfriend is aspiring actress Jenny Blake, who has a small part in Sinclair's latest film; recent events are driving a wedge in their relationship. Sinclair overhears Cliff attempting to tell Jenny about the rocket, so he invites her to dinner. Afterward, at a local <a href="/wiki/Air_show" title="Air show">air show</a>, Cliff uses the rocket to rescue his elderly friend Malcolm, who is piloting a <a href="/wiki/Curtiss_JN_Jenny" title="Curtiss JN Jenny">Curtiss JN Jenny</a> biplane to save Cliff's job. This makes Cliff an immediate flying sensation, but also sets Sinclair and the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">FBI</a> on his trail. </p><p>Sinclair sends Lothar to Cliff and Peevy's home to find the rocket. The FBI arrives soon after, but Cliff and Peevy escape while Lothar steals the latter's <a href="/wiki/Schematic" title="Schematic">schematic</a>. Later, at the airfield diner, Cliff and Peevy are trapped by several Valentine mobsters; they learn about Jenny's date with Sinclair and the actor's involvement in the hunt for the rocket. The diner patrons overpower the gangsters, but a stray fired bullet punctures the rocket's fuel tank, which Peevy temporarily patches with chewing gum. Cliff flies to the South Seas Club, where he tells Jenny about his new Rocketeer alter ego. The Valentine gang arrives, and in the ensuing melée, Sinclair kidnaps Jenny. </p><p>At Sinclair's home, he attempts to seduce Jenny, but she knocks him out and discovers that he is a spy for <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a>. She is quickly recaptured and forced to tell Cliff to bring the rocket to the <a href="/wiki/Griffith_Observatory" title="Griffith Observatory">Griffith Observatory</a> in exchange for her life. Shortly thereafter, Cliff is arrested by the FBI and taken to Howard Hughes, who explains that his rocket is a prototype similar to one Nazi scientists have been unsuccessful in developing; Hughes also shows him a Nazi propaganda film depicting an army of flying commandos using rocket packs to invade the United States. He also mentions that the FBI are trying to locate a Nazi spy in Hollywood employing Valentine's gang, whom Cliff realizes is Sinclair. When Hughes and the FBI demand the return of the rocket, Cliff escapes, but inadvertently leaves behind a clue to where he is headed. </p><p>Cliff flies to the rendezvous, where Sinclair demands that Cliff hand over the rocket. Cliff divulges to Eddie that the actor is a Nazi spy, and the infuriated Valentine gang, while being gangsters are still patriots, turns their weapons on Sinclair. However, Sinclair summons a hidden troop of heavily armed Nazi <a href="/wiki/Sturmabteilung" title="Sturmabteilung">S.A.</a>, as the German <a href="/wiki/Rigid_airship" title="Rigid airship">airship</a> <i>Luxembourg</i> appears overhead to evacuate Sinclair and the troops. The FBI, who have secretly followed Cliff, suddenly announce their presence, and they and the mobsters join forces and battle the Nazis. Sinclair and Lothar escape, dragging Jenny aboard the airship. </p><p>Cliff flies to and boards <i>Luxembourg</i>, but during the ensuing showdown, Jenny accidentally starts a fire with a flare gun on the airship's bridge. Sinclair holds Jenny hostage, forcing Cliff to give him the rocket, but not before Cliff covertly removes the chewing gum patching the fuel leak. Sinclair dons the rocket and flies off, but the leaking fuel causes the rocket to catch on fire, causing him to fall to his death.

They produced a helmet that the filmmakers agreed looked appropriate from all angles; in most respects it was identical to the helmet design Stevens had used for his comics series.<sup id="cite_ref-Cooke_7-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cooke-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Rick_Baker_(makeup_artist)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rick Baker (makeup artist)">Rick Baker</a> designed the <a href="/wiki/Rondo_Hatton" title="Rondo Hatton">Rondo Hatton</a>-inspired <a href="/wiki/Prosthetic_makeup" title="Prosthetic makeup">prosthetic makeup</a> designs for the Lothar character, portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Tiny_Ron_Taylor" title="Tiny Ron Taylor">Tiny Ron Taylor</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Maltin_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maltin-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Visual_effects">Visual effects</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Rocketeer_(film)&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Visual effects"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:H-WoodX.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/75/H-WoodX.jpg/220px-H-WoodX.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/75/H-WoodX.jpg/330px-H-WoodX.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/75/H-WoodX.jpg 2x" data-file-width="396" data-file-height="252" /></a><figcaption>ILM's scale modeled-explosion of the <a href="/wiki/Hollywood_Sign" title="Hollywood Sign">Hollywood Sign</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The visual effects were designed and created by <a href="/wiki/George_Lucas" title="George Lucas">George Lucas</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Light_%26_Magic" title="Industrial Light & Magic">Industrial Light & Magic</a> (ILM) with Ken Ralston (<i><a href="/wiki/Who_Framed_Roger_Rabbit" title="Who Framed Roger Rabbit">Who Framed Roger Rabbit</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Sony_Pictures_Imageworks" title="Sony Pictures Imageworks">Sony Pictures Imageworks</a> founder) serving as the <a href="/wiki/Visual_effects_supervisor" title="Visual effects supervisor">VFX supervisor</a>. <i>Rocketeer</i> director Joe Johnston previously worked at ILM, including on the <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Wars" title="Star Wars">Star Wars</a></i> trilogy and <i><a href="/wiki/Raiders_of_the_Lost_Ark" title="Raiders of the Lost Ark">Raiders of the Lost Ark</a></i><sup id="cite_ref-budget_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-budget-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and as an <a href="/wiki/Art_director" title="Art director">art director</a> and <a href="/wiki/Model_maker" title="Model maker">model maker</a>, before his film directing career took off.

The episode "Rocketeer Day" features a recreation of the climax of the film, and Kit mentions the Rocketeer's battle with Lothar. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sequel">Sequel</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Rocketeer_(film)&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Sequel"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>From the beginning of the process of making <i>The Rocketeer</i>, creator Dave Stevens and screenwriters Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo envisioned it as the first entry of a trilogy.<sup id="cite_ref-Cooke_7-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cooke-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Disney, in particular, hoped the film would carry a vein similar to the <i><a href="/wiki/Indiana_Jones" title="Indiana Jones">Indiana Jones</a></i> franchise.<sup id="cite_ref-Dan_8-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dan-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Both Campbell and Connelly were contracted for sequels, Campbell for two more and Connelly for only one.<sup id="cite_ref-Salem_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Salem-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, with the disappointing box office performance, plans for a sequel were halted in July 1991.<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Campbell reflected in 2008, "[Unfortunately] the movie didn't make as much money as Disney had hoped.
