Afterburn
He risked his life flying an F-16. Now she risks it all to fight for his name.
This gripping movie is based on the true story of one woman's legal battle against the military and the makers of the F-16. Air Force Captain Ted Harduvel (Vincent Spano) was one of the best fighter pilots a country could hope for. Loyal, hardworking, and eagle-eyed, he knew enough to rely on the instruments in his plane to guide him safely home. When Harduvel tragically dies in a plane crash in Korea, his wife Janet (Academy Award Nominee-Best Actress 1991, Laura Dern) is astounded to discover that the Air Force blamed his death on "pilot error." Working with her lawyer (Robert Loggia), she discovers the possibility that the instruments in the F-16 were at fault and the military initiated a cover-up. For Janet Harduvel, her husband's good name is all she has left of him and she'll fight to preserve it!
