Race for the Yankee Zephyr
Finding it after four decades is quite a challenge…. but holding onto it is really an adventure!
In a lake high in the mountains of New Zealand, hunter Gibbie Gibson discovers a plane wreck from WW2. When word gets around, a gang of crooks turns up and threatens him and his daughter, because they know there is 50 million dollars of gold in the wreck. Gibbie, his partner and helicopter pilot Barney, and his daughter Sally, are caught up in a race for the Yankee Zephyr.

<em>'Race for the Yankee Zephyr'</em> is alright viewing, though its extremely uneven nature makes it difficult to get into. Donald Pleasence gives a rather wacky performance as Barney, it looks like he was having fun acting in this - but, as a viewer, he only adds to the chaotic feel of this movie, which is kinda all over the place. Ken Wahl and Lesley Ann Warren are good, though George Peppard's antagonist isn't the best; Peppard himself is OK. The plot moves at a real meh pace, as it doesn't really leave you a lot to latch on to. It is objectively a quite drawn out way of telling the story, which could've been wrapped up in short film form to be honest! There are worse movies out there no doubt, but this 1981 picture is very much a forgettable one!
