➱ STORYLINE:
Airplane! (1980) is a hilarious parody of disaster films, following the story of ex-fighter pilot Ted Striker, who has a fear of flying. When the crew of a commercial flight becomes incapacitated due to food poisoning, it's up to Striker to overcome his fears and land the plane safely. With the help of his ex-girlfriend, stewardess Elaine Dickinson, and a host of quirky characters, Striker navigates a series of absurd and comedic situations. The film's rapid-fire jokes, visual gags, and witty dialogue make it a timeless comedy classic.
➱ STAFF REVIEW:
Airplane! (1980), directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, is a masterclass in comedy, renowned for its relentless humor and innovative style. The film's ensemble cast, led by Robert Hays as Ted Striker and Julie Hagerty as Elaine Dickinson, delivers impeccable comedic performances. Leslie Nielsen's deadpan portrayal of Dr. Rumack is particularly memorable and contributed to his subsequent career in comedy. The film's clever parodies of disaster movie tropes, combined with its slapstick humor and wordplay, have cemented its status as a cult classic. Airplane! remains a benchmark for comedy films, continuously entertaining new generations of audiences.
