Airplane! 1980
Surely you can't be serious about this landing.
After the crew becomes sick with food poisoning, a neurotic ex-fighter pilot must safely land a commercial airplane full of passengers.
When a bad meal leaves the flight crew flat on their backs, a jittery former war hero with a troubled past is the only one left to bring the jet home. Passengers, a wide-eyed stewardess, and a lot of ill-timed chaos stand between him and the runway in this sky-high spoof of disaster movies.
