„The Mysterious Glow is already a film classic today, which is somewhat overshadowed by the younger and more famous first Top Gun. Both films offer stunning shots of aircraft that, except for one type, can now be found only in museums, including the legendary F-14 Tomcat,“ says Martin Hrabec, director of the aviation museum in Kunovice, about the film.
However, while Maverick heads to the famous fighter pilot school, in The Mysterious Glow, the viewer finds themselves aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, which sails back to the times of World War II. The plots of the films are therefore quite different. Both, however, according to Hrabec, are definitely worth watching. And this does not only apply to fans of aircraft.
„An interesting fact is that Kirk Douglas, who plays the captain of the aircraft carrier in the film, served as a sailor in the Pacific during World War II. Alongside him in this film also stars another father of a famous son, Martin Sheen,“ adds Hrabec.
In addition to the screening, visitors can also look forward to illuminated aircraft and a stylishly lit museum exhibition. This will open for them as part of the evening event at 9 PM. People will also have time to explore the exhibits after the film ends. The museum will remain open until after midnight. Tickets priced at 200 CZK will only be sold on-site.
Since we do not have benches available, we kindly ask visitors to bring their own blankets or mats.
