Airplane! is newly remastered on Blu-ray with new special features! Limited Edition Steelbook to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
Voted “one of the 10 funniest movies ever made” by the American Film Institute, Airplane! celebrates 40 years of off-the-wall laughs with this limited edition remastered Blu-ray, from a 4K film transfer supervised by the directors. Robert Hays is an ex-fighter pilot forced to take over the controls of an airliner when the flight crew succumbs to food poisoning, Julie Hagerty co-stars as his girlfriend/stewardess/co-pilot, and joins a cast of all-stars including Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar… and more! Their hilarious high jinks spoof airplane disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials, romantic love… the list whirls by in rapid succession.

- Q&A with Directors of Airplane! (Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood – January 10, 2020)

One of the funniest remakes ever!
Remake? You mean spoof right? ?
Daniel Kietzmann weeeelll… Technically a remake. The basic plot, characters and much of the dialog is taken from a 1957 from called Zero Hour…. Then played for laughs
