The King of Rock 'n' roll plays pilot-for-hire MikeĀ (Elvis Presley), whose hope of starting his own flying business is grounded by the gambling of his copilot Danny (Gary Lockwood). The two hitch to Seattle, where Mike finds romance, Danny finds easy marks and both find problems prior to a "Happy Ending". Kurt Russell, star of 1979's biopic Elvis, plays the child who wallops Mike in the shins. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
