Apple TV reveals John Travolta’s directorial debut in new trailer

Propeller One-Way Night Coach is Apple TV’s next movie, premiering later this month from first-time director John Travolta. Here’s the new trailer.

Propeller One-Way Night Coach is based on John Travolta’s 1997 book

Apple TV’s next original film is just a few weeks away, and its first trailer was just released.

Propeller One-Way Night Coach premieres Friday, May 29 on Apple TV following an appearance at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

The movie is written, directed, narrated, and produced by John Travolta based on his book of the same name.

Travolta also makes an acting appearance in the new trailer, but he’s not expected to have much of a presence in front of the camera.

Here’s Apple’s official description for the film, followed by its trailer:

Set in the golden age of aviation, a young airplane enthusiast, Jeff (played by newcomer Clark Shotwell), and his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett) set off on a one-way cross-country odyssey to Hollywood, which transforms a simple flight into the trip of a lifetime. Between airline meals, charming flight attendants (played by Ella Bleu Travolta and Olga Hoffmann), unexpected stopovers, larger-than-life passengers and a thrilling glimpse at first class, the journey unfolds in moments both magical and unexpected, charting the course for the boy’s future.
