Apple TV releases a trailer for “Propeller One-Way Night Coach,” a new family film written, directed and produced by John Travolta. Multiple outlets describe the project as a cross-country flight story set on a journey toward Hollywood, based on Travolta’s children’s book published in 1997. The film marks Travolta’s directorial debut, with the trailer previewing the movie’s tone and premise.
Variety reports that the movie will stream on Apple TV starting May 29. It also says the film premieres out of competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival before its streaming release. The 9to5Mac report similarly states that Apple TV is presenting the trailer and highlights that Travolta is directing for the first time. No additional plot specifics or cast changes are provided across the two sources beyond the adaptation details, the family-film framing, and the release timeline tied to Apple TV and Cannes.
