Another box office success in disaster genre with a great cast full of familiar faces. Plastic acting and stock characters detailing a hectic flight in Boeing.
It is an insincere , slick attempt to find box-office magic again , and , really , it achieved a hit smash. This is the third of four movies in the "Airport" series adapted from the Arthur Hailey novel. Twist to this in-flight catastrophe is that the bad time in the air happen underwater. The movie is another jetliner epic with hero Jack Lemmon as valiant pilot.
Billionaire -James Stewart- fills his converted passenger commercial airline of the American Airlines with priceless paintings and sets off to Palm Beach for a museum opening being piloted by Jack Lemmon , Robert Foxworth and joined by an invited band of hijackers , and being subsequently crashed into the sea.
Describing the reactions of the crew and passengers as they cope with the impeding doom. At the end takes places a daring rescue attempt. The film is detailing hectic flighty piloted by Jack Lemmon and the relationship among passengers. This old-fashioned catastrophe picture contains thriller , suspense , drama , moderate tension and being quite entertaining though with some flaws and gaps. Filmed at the height of the disaster genre from the 7os , this entry in the spectacular series profits of an enjoyable acting by Jack Lemmon , bringing life to character , in fact , to prepare for his role, Jack attended both diving school and flight training school , as he wanted to know what all the knobs and dials were for.
And , of course , it appears the classic character Patroni played by usual George Kennedy continuing his role appeared in all four "Airport" pictures. The motion picture was professionally directed by Jerry Jameson , habitual TV director and occasionally for movie theater. Jerry went onto direct a similar sunken-vehicle high-concept picture around three years later with Raise the Titanic ; instead of raising a sunken airplane from underwater it was the ship the Titanic.
However , Airport '77 was box-office hit whereas Raise the Titanic was a box-office flop. It's an inoffensive diversion but is sometimes tediously unspooled. The film will appeal to Jack Lemmon fans and disaster genre enthusiasts. Details Edit. Release date March 11, United States.

Even though some of the situations depicted in this film seem incredible to believe, it is due in no small part to the above-average quality of the acting of a lot of the case that they seem fully credible, and the tension is often palpable.
And this time around, there is a slight element of the supernatural, as most of the goings-on in the second half of the film take place in that part of the Atlantic bounded by Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda—the infamous Bermuda Triangle, where it is said ships and planes have been known to vanish without a trace. The plane in question is the new Stevens Corporation jumbo jet, whose owner James Stewart has invited many dignitaries onboard to take a flight from Washington to his place in Palm Beach, Florida for the opening of his new art museum and library grounds.
There's also several million dollars worth of paintings onboard in the cargo hold, which makes it a target for a trio of art thieves Michael Pataki, Robert Foxworth, Monte Markham. During mid-flight, the thieves siphon sleeping gas into the passenger cabin of the plane, and cause the passengers to go to sleep, while they try to get their hands on those paintings. Foxworth, meanwhile, sets the plane on a course that takes it right into the Bermuda Triangle, and underneath coastal radar.
But the whole thing goes fatally awry when, flying through a fog bank, the jet strikes the top of an oil rig, and is set out of control onto, and then under, the Atlantic. When the passengers come to, they find their plane under one hundred feet of water.
The combination of outside water pressure and the lack of oxygen inside the plane doesn't give them much time; and the chief pilot Jack Lemmon is forced to swim out of a flooded cargo hold and up to the surface in a life raft equipped with a homing device that will allow the Navy and other rescue parties to find the plane.
Since physical underwater rescue of the passengers is impossible, the Navy is forced to use pontoons to somehow raise the plane up to the surface long enough to get the passengers out. And although Lee Grant's performance as the obnoxious wife of a philanthropist Christopher Lee does weight down the film at times, the solid performances of Joseph Cotten, Olivia DeHavilland, and Darren McGavin compensate for that fault, as doe the performances of others in the cast, including Kathleen Quinlan, M.
And the climactic rescue operation sequence, though it requires a suspension of disbelief not uncommon for the disaster genre, is also quite good too. After Lahore airport Islamabad airport Breakdown of electricity. Channel 24 News. More from Teaser Trailer. Insecure S05E06 Tired, Okay-!
