Synopsis
"Surely this must me one of finest comedy double bills of all time!" Yes, it's AIRPLANE! and AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL. And, um...don't call me Shirley.
AIRPLANE!: The spoof comedy that set the gold standard for all that followed it, AIRPLANE! takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that peppered cinemas in the 1970s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot (Robert Hays), who has a drinking problem and is afraid of flying, must cooperate with his stewardess ex-girlfriend (Julie Hagerty) to bring the plane to a safe landing. In this hilarious ensemble comedy, no disaster flick cliche is left unroasted, and even the musical score takes a less than reverent look at overly melodramatic compositions.
In the sequel, the wild and crazy crew is in the sky again as a commercial space shuttle takes flight. This time there's a mad bomber on board, the engines aren't working, and the Angel of Death keeps popping up in the cockpit. But worst of all, they're completely out of coffee!
