The Skydivers is a 1963 American crime film produced by Anthony Cardoza, and written and directed by Coleman Francis.

[1][2] It stars actors Kevin Casey, Eric Tomlin, Cardoza and Marcia Knight,[3] with a performance by influential guitarist Jimmy Bryant.

After falling into obscurity for three decades, the film found second life in 1994, serving the basis for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode (during which TV's Frank describes it as like "Manos without the lucid plot").

One day, a woman named Suzy Belmont comes around claiming to be looking for the Rowes' plane mechanic Frankie Bonner.

Joe is just in time to witness an eager young man, Pete, propose to do a dangerous skydiving stunt.

The party is lively, but the evening ends in tragedy when Harry's chute rips and he plummets to the ground to his death.

In spite of the lack of any direct evidence that they were responsible, and no legal proceedings, the two are immediately gunned down without warning by the authorities as they drive away from the facility.
