You want reality, get on a bus. You want elaborate, big-budgeted escapism, watch Airport '77. Let's see...we've already had the "bomb or board" plot (Airport) and the "stewardess takes over the controls" bit (Airport '75). That still leaves us the "plane crashes into the ocean" routine. Better still: the 747 is submerged 50 feet into the ocean, but the passengers are still alive and must be rescued before the oxygen supply ran out. Complicating matters are pair of criminals who'd rather there be no survivors. All-star roll call! Sound off now! Jack Lemmon as the pilot, James Stewart as a billionaire art fancier transporting his priceless paintings on the 747, Christopher Lee and Lee Grant as a famed oceanographer and his alcoholic wife (there's always at least one boozer on board), Joseph Cotten as Grant's lover, Olivia de Havilland as an art collector, plane designer Darren McGavin, and George Kennedy as the same guy he played in the first two Airports. While Airport '77 made less at the box office than its two predecessors, it was still profitable enough to spawn yet another sequel: The Concorde: Airport '79.
