Three times a week this group of 24 pilots flies out of Miami (usually four planes to a sortie) in order to search for balseros -- rafters -- who are risking their lives to make the 90- mile crossing from Cuba. Each of the Brothers' planes is decorated, bomber- style, with stickers representing rafts saved -- Domaniewicz's alone boasts 32.

Johanson, though a little stiff at times, is a capable guide, narrating and often participating in a mix of on-location filming, talking-head interviews and dramatic re-creations, both historic and prehistoric. In some of the most impressive segments, actors in ingenious makeup, moving with a quasi-simian gait, bring Lucy and other protohumans eerily to life...
