Airplane!

CriticsCritics: 88
AudienceAudience: 7.8

When an airliner’s crew is incapacitated by food poisoning, a former fighter pilot must take control and guide the troubled flight toward safety. His old fears and personal complications add to the pressure as the situation unfolds through nonstop absurdity.

My take

You’ll enjoy this fast, absurd spoof if you like relentless slapstick, puns, and deadpan delivery, especially in the spirit of The Naked Gun; Not for you if dated or edgy humor wears thin.
