Coffee, Tea or Cheese? "Airport" (1970)
Description
Now boarding TGA Flight #2 non-stop to Rome! We've got elderly stow-aways (and Oscar-winners), surly mechanics, a French New-wave muse, and oh yes, a former movie star with a briefcase full of dynamite.
Would you like an aisle or a window seat?
Please fasten your seat belts as we take flight on "Airport" (Universal, 1970), the iconic film that launched the disaster film genre dominating 1970s cinema, surprising critics by becoming Universal Pictures' biggest hit ever. This groundbreaking movie combines melodrama with suspense as multiple characters navigate personal crises against the backdrop of a snowstorm and a mad bomber threatening a transatlantic flight.
Last call! Once the cabin doors are closed, no one will be permitted to board.
