| The persons and events in this film are fictious - fortunately! A Masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy, Airplane! features Robert Hays as an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the control 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. 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. |
