The persons and events are fictitious — fortunately! A masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy, "Airplane!" features Robert Hays as an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the controls 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 including Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and more. The hilarious highjinks spoof airline disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials, romantic love — the list whirls in rapid succession. And the story races from one moment of zany fun to the next. Rated "PG" in the US and "14A" in Canada.
