Movie Reviews of The Hunters

Movie Review: Korea, Hollywood style
Summary: 4 Stars

This is one of the rare times where I liked the movie better than the book. The book does more character development but has a surreal ending being told by the pilot AFTER he is dead. The F86's have correct markings, and using F84F's as Mig 15's was a good a choice as you could expect when this movie was made. They were similar in appearance although the F84F came after the Korean war was over. The movie has more action than the book, but alas, also had to have the required "love plot". Mitchum, a.k.a. 'Mister Thunder Road', will always personify cool. Enjoy the movie for what it is, late '50's Hollywood.

Summary of The Hunters

With its electrifying flight sequences and high-powered cast, The Hunters is a mesmerizing film based on the best-selling novel by veteran fighter pilot James Salter. Set during the height of the Korean War, the story centers on Major Cleve Saville (Robert Mitchum), a master of the newly operational F-86 Sabre fighter jets. But adept as he is at flying, Saville?s personal life takes a nosedive when he falls in love with his wingman?s (Lee Philips) beautiful wife (May Britt). To make matters worse, Saville must cope with a loud-mouthed rookie (Robert Wagner) in a daring rescue mission that threatens all their lives in this well-crafted war drama.
