Silly as it is (c’mon, helium balloons?), Airport ’77 is the most suspenseful of the series, with death looming over a planeload of Oscar winners, each trying to out-ham the others before their oxygen runs out.
The story’s formula banality is credible most of the time and there’s some good actual US Navy search and rescue procedure interjected in the plot.
Here we go again--it's time for a 747 to meet disaster once more with a host of colorful characters to worry about as they go down--and this time they go down 50 feet into the ocean.
The movie’s a big, slick entertainment, relentlessly ridiculous and therefore never boring for long.
Airport '77 looks less like the work of a director and writers than like a corporate decision.
First-rate schlock; overlong and incredibly stupid, but that's part of the formula by now.
Disaster movie in which a converted luxury airliner laden with guests and art treasures is hijacked by terrorists and crashes into the sea near an oil-rig. The survivors then spend their time trying to overact their way out of the claustrophobic script, which threatens a death even more slow and painful than suffocation or drowning.
