The Flight of the Phoenix (1965) – Original 1-Sheet Movie Poster 20th Century Fox | U.S. Theatrical Release | Folded | 27 x 41 in.

This is an original 1965 U.S. one sheet poster for The Flight of the Phoenix, a survival drama directed by Robert Aldrich and starring James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, and Hardy Krüger. The artwork is dramatic and action-packed, featuring vivid red-orange swirls suggesting chaos and danger, while silhouettes of men dragging aircraft parts emphasize the film’s central theme of desperation and endurance in the desert. The tagline, “Its excitement is headed straight for you!”, adds an aggressive marketing tone typical of mid-1960s posters.

This copy is folded, as originally issued, and shows visible wear, including edge tears, minor holes, a corner chip, and general creasing along folds. Despite the flaws, the colors remain rich and the poster retains a strong visual impact. While not in fine condition, its value as a classic survival epic and James Stewart collectible remains. For collectors of aviation or mid-century survival cinema, this poster holds nostalgic and historical appeal.

A must-have for fans of classic aviation dramas or James Stewart collectors.

• Ideal for framing: rich reds and dramatic visual storytelling make it a striking display piece.

• Increasingly hard to find in any condition—this is the true first printing from 1965, not a reproduction.
