At the Movies w/ Robert & Alex: Airport '77

Continuing the airport movies, Alex and I now jump to Airport '77 and...it has a more absurd premise compared to the second movie, but it's executed FAR better! We've still got some great cast but no one who is hogging the limelight like Heston did. Sadly this is Joe's smallest role in the franchise.

The story about the mid-air hijack of a multi-millionaire's private 747 carrying a collection of priceless works of art. The terrified pilot is forced by the hijackers to fly low to avoid radar detection and, as a result, the plane hits an oil rig and crashes into the sea. As the stricken airliner sinks, its passengers and crew are faced with a nightmare fight for survival.
