In the year 1917, during World War I, a group of young Americans, driven by a sense of adventure and patriotism, join the army and are sent to France to fight against the Germans. Among them are the Flyboys, a squadron of fearless pilots who are trained to fly biplanes that are primitive by today's standards. James Franco stars as Blaine Rawlings, a hot-headed Texan who joins the Flyboys after a tragic accident leaves him with nothing to lose. He is a natural pilot who quickly becomes the leader of the group, even though he clashes with some of the other members, who come from different backgrounds and have different goals.

One of his most loyal followers is Reed Cassidy, played by Martin Henderson, a handsome and suave ladies' man who is always up for a fight. Meanwhile, William Jensen, played by Philip Winchester, is a bookish intellectual who is more interested in the science of flying than the thrill of it.

The enemy of the Flyboys is the infamous German fighter ace known as the Black Falcon, played by David Ellison. He is a skilled pilot who is feared and respected by both sides, and who has a personal vendetta against the Americans for killing his brother.

Jean Reno plays the role of Captain Thenault, a French officer who is responsible for training the Flyboys and guiding them through the dangers of aerial warfare. He is a wise and experienced leader who has seen many young men come and go, and who knows how to bring out the best in his recruits.

Jennifer Decker plays Lucienne, a beautiful French woman who captures the heart of Blaine and becomes his love interest. She is a strong and independent woman who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.

Flyboys is a visually stunning movie that captures the thrill and danger of flying in World War I. The biplane dogfights are some of the most exciting and realistic ever filmed, and the special effects and cinematography are top-notch.

However, the movie also explores the human side of war, as we see the Flyboys struggle with fear, loss, and homesickness. We also see the impact that the war has on the civilians, especially Lucienne and her family, who are caught in the middle of the conflict.

Overall, Flyboys is a compelling and entertaining movie that combines action, drama, and romance in a way that will appeal to a wide range of viewers. It is a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who fought in the Great War, and a reminder of the power of courage and friendship in the face of adversity.

Flyboys is a 2006 action movie with a runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.5 and a MetaScore of 47.
