gliders in movies

Found another movie...sounds great...."The Sky Trap" directed by Ron
Howard in 1980. Plot is of a glider pilot that lands out on a runway
close to the border and accidently disturbs drug smugglers.....sounds
like a normal day in Arizona or Texas! I haven't seen it, but you can
bet I will try to find this film. Besides which, Ron Howard is a
pretty good director!

I think you are confusing these two movies:
"Skyward"(1980)(by Ron Howard) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081526/
and
"The Sky Trap"(1978)(by Jerome Courtland)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348049/

"Skyward" is about a parapelegic girl who learns to fly. "The Sky Trap"
is about two kids who run afoul of drug dealers.

Good luck getting your hands on them. I don't think either one has ever
been released on DVD or VHS. Where would one even begin looking?
