Airplane! DVD cover.

Movie (1980)

Starring:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Roger Murdock)
Lloyd Bridges (McCroskey)
Peter Graves (Captain Oveur)
Julie Hagerty (Elaine)
Robert Hays (Ted Striker)
Leslie Nielsen (Dr. Rumack)


Ted messes up his relationship with Elaine, an airline stewardess, and wants to convince her that he can change. He boards a flight which she is working on in order to continue his plea with her. Later in the flight, many of the passengers realize they received food poisoning from eating fish prior to the flight. It gets worse as they discover that both the pilots also ate fish and soon become unable to fly the plane. Ted, being an ex-fighter pilot, is the only one on the plane who has a chance to get it back on the ground safely. As he is landing the plane, Elaine is impressed and decides she can give him another chance.
