“Propeller One-Way Night Coach” is a one-hour self-financed autobiographical story about eight-year-old Travolta’s flight from New York to Los Angeles with his actress mother in 1962.
“It’s the blueprint of my life,” the actor, a lifelong aeronaut, said while narrating the story.
“What you will see in the film is entirely my perspective of what I have seen people go through.
“All the people in the film, my family, are sitting right there in the audience,” he said.
Travolta was bitten by the acting bug early on.
