# High Road to China (1983)

1983 · 103 min · Adventure, War, Romance · Yugoslavia, United Kingdom, United States


## Synopsis

High Road to China is a 1983 adventure-romance film set in the 1920s starring Tom Selleck in his first major starring role, playing a hard-drinking biplane pilot hired by society heiress Eve "Evie" Tozer to find her missing father. The supporting cast includes Robert Morley and Brian Blessed. The Golden Harvest film is loosely based on the 1977 novel of the same name by Jon Cleary. However, little beyond character names and the basic premise of an aerial race to China survived the translation to film.
