The movie introduces Hal Jordan as a cocky-but-troubled hotshot pilot who ran away from home to join the air force on his 18th birthday, only to wash out after punching his commanding officer in the jaw. As we see in flashbacks, Hal watched his father Martin Jordan die in a tragic test flight accident when he was just a child, and he swore to honor his legacy by becoming a pilot himself. But Hal's mother, who never quite got over the death of her husband, forbade her son from following in his father's footsteps, and threatened to disown him if he ever set foot in a fighter cockpit. Since leaving the air force, Hal ekes out a meager living as a test pilot at Ferris Aircraft, a remote airfield in the heart of the mojave desert.
