Airport
One of the original "disaster" movies, this all-star nail-biter follows a series of emergencies at a large Midwestern airport on a snowy night.
The weather's bad enough, but then a passenger threatens to blow up an inbound plane. Based on Arthur Hailey's novel.
Sequels include Airport 1975, Airport '77 and The Concorde - Airport '79 and dozens of other catastrophe epics built from the same blueprint.
