They draw up a schematic diagram with wings and an engine and scavenge numerous parts, secretly using Jack’s tools to build the aircraft in their shed. The boys also raise money though various means, such as retrieving lost balls on a golf course and selling them back to the golfers. After leaving a farewell letter for their mother, the brothers take the device to the cliff at night, but Jack discovers their plan and attempts to stop them, prompting Shane to furiously attack him.
Under Evans’s direction, the film starred Rosanna Arquette as the mother, Tomas Arana as Jack, and Luke Edwards and James Badge Dale as the children. The budget was set at $17–18 million after Evans agreed to cut some expensive effects sequences. However, Stonebridge executives found the dailies disappointing, and after 10 days of filming, Douglas shut down production, at a loss of $5 million. Douglas then recruited Richard Donner as the film’s new director. With Evans’s blessing, Donner accepted with a $5 million paycheck, while his wife, producer Lauren Shuler Donner came on board.
Evans was to make his directorial debut on the film but was replaced by Donner. Filming locations included Novato, California, and Columbia Airport in Columbia, California.

Because the film in fact ends with Bobby successfully evading his stepfather forever, viewers (including Ebert himself) have taken to speculating on the “true” ending, assuming that the one presented was a case of an unreliable narrator. The film was dedicated to the memory of script frozen ride on toy supervisor Nancy Benta Hansen and uncredited production assistant Simone Fuentes, “whose professionalism and humor we miss.” Back in the present, Mike reiterates to his sons the importance of keeping a promise, and imparts a lesson about history being in the mind of the teller.
With the major players recast, Radio Flyer resumed production that October. Donner had Evans rewrite the script extensively to find a way to balance escapist fantasy and child abuse without alienating the audience. Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin both criticized the film for presenting fantasy as a way of escaping child abuse.
