Airplane!

[1980, Movie]

Airplane!: Review

Loaded with slapstick silliness and schoolboy wordplay, this inventive comedy from the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker writing-directing team (The Naked Gun) gleefully lampoons just about every crisis-in-mid-air film it can get its hands on, from Zero Hour to Airport 1975. Robert Hays stars as failed fighter pilot who's forced to take the controls of a commercial jet liner after the captain (Peter Graves) and co-pilot (basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) succumb to food poisoning.
