Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Croatia

The Aviator is a 1985 American aviation adventure drama film directed by George T. Miller and starring Christopher Reeve and Rosanna Arquette.

Production

The story of the film was adapted by Marc Norman from the book The Aviator, written by Ernest K. Gann. In the book, Tillie is an 11-year-old girl rather than the pert teenager in the film. Also she is critically injured after the crash of the Stearman mailplane and is immobile the entire time afterward.

Although set in the northwestern United States, the film was actually shot in Croatia near Rijeka, and Ljubljana, Slovenia, then a part of Yugoslavia.
