Fly By Night is about the helicopter crash on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie - the Warner Bros. film co-produced by Steven Spielberg and John Landis - that killed actor Vic Morrow, and two children who had been hired illegally. Confidential sources in the studios and in the private worlds of Spielberg and Landis - and in the DA's office, the sheriff's office, Interpol and the FBI - and newly uncovered internal Warner Bros. documents - let the author show the cover-up that ensued, a $5-million-dollar scheme to keep Landis out of jail and Spielberg out of the headlines, resulting in an unbelievable acquittal by a jury that had fallen under the spell of Hollywood. From John Huston, Jackie Cooper, Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche to Chevy Chase, George Lucas, Dan Aykroyd and Carrie Fisher, both old and new Hollywood found themselves party to this unprecedented event.
