Dalton Gardens' Clark Shotwell plays the starring role in "Propeller One-Way Night Coach," a newly released family adventure film written, co-produced and directed by John Travolta. The movie is based on Travolta's 1997 children's novel. 

The film had its world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival on May 15. It was released globally by Apple TV on May 29. The plot revolves around the main character, Jeff, played by Shotwell, who recalls his departure from Idlewild Airport in New York on December 28, 1962, as an 8-year-old boy with his mother, Helen, who was traveling to Hollywood to try her hand at acting.
