Old-school romance starring Richard Gere as Zack, an aloof Navy man training to become a pilot.

Features the soaring hit Up Where We Belong ("where the eagles cry... on the mountain high"), performed by Joe Cocker, which won the BAFTA, Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Original Song.

The New York Times"The best movie about love that I've seen in a long time. Maybe that's because it's not about "love" as a Hollywood concept, but about love as growth, as learning to accept other people for who and what they are."
