Plot: Two features. 'Airplane', is the spoof comedy that set the gold standard for all that followed it. It takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that peppered cinemas in the 70s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot (who has a drinking problem and is afraid of flying) must co-operate with his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing. No disaster flick cliche is left un-roasted, and the musical score itself takes a less than reverent look at overly melodramatic compositions. In 'Airplane 2', the wild and crazy crew is in the sky again, and this time there's a mad bomber on board, the engines aren't working, and the angel of death keeps popping up in the cockpit. But worst of all, the flight attendants suddenly discover that they're completely out of coffee!
