Product Description
It's retro-tastic! There haven't been a lot of items made from the Disney movieThe Rocketeer, so here's a chance to own a piece of the film! This full-size replica of Cliff Secord's distinctive helmet comes with a sturdy wooden base and looks like it leaped off the screen. Finished in a beautiful antique gold, this gorgeous helmet has a soft cotton liner and is completed with a leather chin strap. The year is 1938. The place is Los Angeles California. A wave of optimism washes over tinsel town. You could be a Hollywood starlet in her first big picture, or a flyboy pilot competing for the prize in a local air show, but L.A. is 'rocketing into the future'. The rocket pack, thought to be a thing only mentioned in pulp comic books, has become a reality. Famed aviator and inventor Howard Hughes has built a machine you can strap on your back and fly without wings. Dubbed the Cirrus X-3, it was only in the testing phase when gangsters were able to steal it. Cliff Secord and Ambrose Peabody stumble on the Cirrus X-3 which has been hidden before the fight between the mob and the FBI. Cliff unknowingly becomes the first successful test pilot of the experimental rocket. Many test pilots had tried to fly it and perished in the attempts. What made Cliff's flight successful where others had failed? Peabody's specially designed helmet with a built in rudder. Fashioned from a simple bronze space heater, the rudder added the necessary stability and control. For Disney, bringing The Rocketeer to life on the big screen was an enormous undertaking. At the time, it had the largest budget of any live action Disney feature. Crucial to the film was the look of Dave Stevens' popular comic book character, and pivotal to that was the helmet. Several versions of the helmet were created, but they all fell short of the streamlined look captured in the comic.
