A very good airplane disaster flick that launched a slew of sequels and rip-offs. Airport is really nothing but a film about the life of airplane workers and how they react to life-threatening emergencies. The cast is star-studded but half of the time, the script doesn't measure up. Airport is interesting, entertaining and sometimes exciting.
