Synopsis

Voted “one of the 10 funniest movies ever made” by the American Film Institute, Airplane! celebrates 40 years of off-the-wall laughs with this limited edition remastered Blu-ray, from a 4K film transfer supervised by the directors. Robert Hays is an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the controls of an airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning, Julie Hagerty co-stars as his girlfriend/stewardess/co-pilot, and joins a cast of all-stars including Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar … and more! Their hilarious high jinks spoof airplane disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials, romantic love … the list whirls by in rapid succession.

(Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood – January 10, 2020) Isolated Score - Commentary by Writers/Directors Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Producer Jon Davison
