Airport '77 (1977)
Director: Jerry Jameson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Disaster movie in which a converted luxury airliner laden with guests and art treasures is hijacked by terrorists and crashes into the sea near an oil-rig. The survivors then spend their time trying to overact their way out of the claustrophobic script, which threatens a death even more slow and painful than suffocation or drowning.Author: NF
