📜 Based on an unbelievable true story, Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan jumps off from New York in a tiny, second-hand plane destined for Long Beach—but winds up in Ireland instead! In 1938, after being repeatedly grounded by inspectors, Corrigan took off claiming a mechanical “mistake,” but landed to a ticker-tape parade in Dublin. This high-flying biographical drama blends grit, grit-and-wire aviation, and sheer audacity.

Now presented here in real color, this restoration brings fresh clarity to Corrigan’s journey—from garage mechanic and barn-stormer to reluctant legend of the skies.
