The Rocketeer | June 19, 1991

On this day in 1991, 'The Rocketeer' premiered at the newly renovated El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Modeled after 1930s pulp fiction comics, ‘The Rocketeer’ follows Cliff Secord, a pilot who discovers a rocket pack that allows him to perform high-flying heroics. The El Capitan’s grand re-opening for this film marked the completion of a two-year refurbishment by Disney and Pacific Theatres. The effort was guided by the U.S. Department of the Interior and cost $14 million, equal to over $35 million today!
