Airplane! is an American comedy film, first released on July 2, 1980, produced by the Zucker brothers & starring Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges & Kareem Abdul Jabbar. It is the second of a number of movies produced & directed by the duo. In some foreign releases, Airplane! was entitled Flying High. The film is regularly shown on television, with many devotees repeatedly rewatching the film, in the process catching other gags that they didnt notice earlier due to the sheer number of sight, sound & dialogue gags. The Sequel, first released on December 10, 1982, attempted to tackle the science fiction film genre. Although most of the cast reunited for the sequel, the two films have no writers in common. The plot of Airplane! is a well-travelled one. The story of an in-flight medical emergency, caused by food poisoning, started as the CBC TV movie Flight Into Danger, then became the 1957 Paramount Pictures movie Zero Hour!. Thus Airplane! is the fourth remake of the Arthur Hailey novel Runway Zero-Eight. Posters Of Airplane
