#1 fav airport movie of all
Classic Disaster Movie
It would not be a good movie if it did not have George Kennedy in it. Pretty predictable plot, but seeing the Concord flying makes it a decent movie.
P - U
What a stinker of a movie trying to cash in on the original movie's name. Cast except for George Kennedy is a bunch of hacks and Kennedy must have needed a quick payday to do the film.
