Event Date Passed
The persons and events in this film are fictitious - fortunately! A
masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy, Airplane! features Robert Hays as an
ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the controls of an airliner when
the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning; Julie Hagerty as his
girlfriend/stewardess/co-pilot; and a cast of all-stars including Robert
Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar... and more. Their hilarious high jinks spoof airplane
disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials, romantic
love... the list whirls by in rapid succession. And the story races from
one moment of zany fun to the next.
