SUNDAY, JANUARY 7 & WEDNESDAY, january 10
Off-the-wall comedy that spoofs every disaster movie cliché. The fate of an imperiled airliner depends on Ted Striker (Robert Hays), a nervous former pilot with a “drinking problem.” Ex-girlfriend Elaine (Julie Hagerty) is the flight attendant. (“There’s no reason to become alarmed… by the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?”) Leslie Nielson plays the no-nonsense doctor who lends a hand. (“And don’t call me Shirley.”)
1980
Rated PG
