Airport 77 (1977)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 114m
Director: Jerry Jameson
Cast: Jack Lemmon, Lee Grant, Joseph Cotten, Christopher Lee, James Stewart, Brenda Vaccaro, Olivia de Havilland
Synopsis:
A jumbo jet transporting art thieves, amongst others, crashlands into the sea, sinks and balances precariously on the edge of a continental shelf. Will the passengers get out alive?
Review:
Yes, the Arthur Hailey-derived movies got really silly at this point: we all know a plane submerged does not keep its air - that is why it sinks after all. Nevertheless, the producers do expand the climax of The Italian Job into about an hour of screen time, and we do get time to look into the personal lives of all those under threat of extinction. Read the novelization: it's better.
