FILM DESCRIPTION:
When an in-flight collision incapacitates the pilots of an airplane bound for Los Angeles, stewardess Nancy Pryor (Karen Black) is forced to take over the controls. From the ground, her boyfriend Alan Murdock (Charlton Heston), a retired test pilot, tries to talk her through piloting and landing the 747 aircraft. Worse yet, the anxious passengers -- among which are a noisy nun (Helen Reddy) and a cranky man (Sid Caesar) -- are aggravating the already tense atmosphere.

This was my favorite movie growing up and the reason I love aviation to this day.. I remember having both airport 75 & 77 on vhs 📼. Still so awesome to see this. Had a huge crush on Karen Black back then..

Boy that plane is loaded with perfect disaster movie characters. Young black couple, old white movie star, a couple of nuns, teenage girl needing an operation. All that plane needed was the ex alcoholic played by some old character actor in his last role, flying to see his Grandchildren for the first time before he dies.

This movie happened to be my first drive-in theatre attendance as a 10 year old during spring break. The following flick after this movie was crime drama Newman's Law starring George Peppard who was a vigilante cop fighting corruption in his own department. What terrific memories of being a kid seeing this movie with the family. RIP Mom, Stepop and Dad whom myself and my siblings went to see other movies separately all throughout the 1970s.

I love that they definitely didn’t use bad rear projection and a dummy for the collision effect.

RIP Karen Black. Hero. Savior. Badass.

Love the old lady in powder blue screaming and holding onto the seat in front of her LMAO!

Sadly, the Beech twin used in the movie had a real life midair collision in August 24, 1989 near Tracy, CA killing the pilot and pilot of a Cessna.

1:08 the lady standing up towards the back and screaming. Hilarious.

This movie made me fascinated with visiting Salt Lake City. Finally came in 2016. Ran the SLC Marathon. Nice to have the Wasatch Mountain range as your backdrop. Best time ever. Cant wait to visit again! Thanks to this movie!

I like this movie. So dramatic and hilarious.

Best Actress Ever: Passenger in the Blue Dress screaming!

[gregdark]

Karen Black yelling, "Oh my God!" Seems so real.

[rocketraccoon]

This is why I always bring a parachute on every flight.
😬

That cockpit had no wind. Her hair was perfect.

[Bradgilliswhammyman]

The idea a 747 would stay airborne after this is beyond ridiculous. And no, you are not piloting a plane w/o windows at 21, 000 feet like it is a car with the top down. You couldn't breathe, the wind rushing into the cockpit would make doing anything virtually impossible.

[TheIrishLoaf]

Dummy going out the cockpit hole like an episode of Thunderbirds.

The pilot of that small plane played by Dana Andrews was Ted Striker in "Zero Hour", the movie that inspired "Airplane!". Well actually, that movie more than inspired it, the "Zero Hour" was used practically line by line in "Airplane!".

Love the Airport Movies now Karen Black has to fly the plane R I P Karen Black George Kennedy and Charlton Heston.
