Summary
Voted “one of the 10 funniest movies ever made” by the American Film Institute, “Airplane!” is a masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy. Robert Hays stars as an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the controls of an airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning. Their hilarious high jinks spoof airplane disaster flicks, religious zealots, and television commercials. Nominated for Best Motion Picture at the **Golden Globes.** Nominated for Best Screenplay at the **BAFTA Awards.** *"...if you need a few belly laughs, get a boarding pass. Airplane is the ultimate take-off." - Michael Blowen, **The Boston Globe***
