A group of misfits in Oakland hang out in a junkyard and an abandoned airstrip, hatching a harebrained scheme to repair a PBY Catalina flying boat and escape their troubles. Led by Donald Sutherland's eccentric ex-con, the gang's antics hilariously thicken as they try to bring their transport from shambles to flight. With Jane Fonda playing a high-priced prostitute and Peter Boyle bringing his unique brand of eccentricity to the table, this unlikely crew navigates love, redemption, and the open sky. As they embark on a journey that promises freedom and adventure, will their misfit gang find a happier life beyond society's norms?
