The Concorde: Airport 79 (1979)
Country: US
Technical: col 113m
Director: David Lowell Rich
Cast: Alain Delon, Susan Blakely, Robert Wagner, George Kennedy, Sylvia Kristel
Synopsis:
Passengers on board a supersonic flight to the Moscow Olympics include a man with information to bring down a major arms contractor. How better to silence him than have the French air force shoot the plane down with missiles?
Review:
Superbly inept disaster sequel, promoting the Olympics US athletes ended up boycotting, but at least giving BAC and Aérospatiale excellent publicity as to the manoeuvrability of their plane if attacked. Note the token French cast members: an over the hill leading man (nothing new in the Airport stakes) and a soft porn actress, a departure that perhaps led to Kitten Natividad guesting on Airplane!
