Airport (1970)

Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin star in a drama about the chaotic operations of an airport in a snowstorm. The film which somehow made it in the Action 101 book but really has very little "action."

The film starts with Lancaster as the head of an airport in the middle of a snow storm as they attempt to continue operations despite a plane blocking a runway, picketers of a runway causing noise in a neighborhood on the path of the runway. His wife divorces him during the snowstorm for not attending a dinner with her [that I'm sure would have been cancelled due to weather in real life]. The action plot is that a disgruntled man looking to collect life insurance for his family bombs one of the planes in a scene that makes me wonder if the FAA made this movie.

Amazingly this movie managed to spawn three sequels and I would guess that this series lent some ideas to the comedy team behind Airplane! regardless of the parody being modeled around Zero Hour! This movie sucked, maybe it was good 40 years ago, but not now.

Vote: 4/10
