Comedy spoof of Airport-type films, made by the Kentucky Fried Movie team, starring Robert Hays
Julie Hagerty Leslie Nielsen
This parody of disaster films combines an anthology of movie cliches with life-threatening situations from every classic disaster film: a war-hero pilot who's lost his nerve has to land a passenger plane because the pilots have food poisoning; the passenger list consists of the most bizarre assortment of people; and the ground controller has chosen this day to give up smoking ... and just about everything else.
So what's Airplane? Well, it's that big steel flying machine with wings.
Written and directed by Jim Abrahams , David Zucker and Jerry Zucker
