Airplane! (also known as Flying High!) is a 1980 American parody film produced by Jon Davison and written and directed by David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams. Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson star alongside Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty. The film is a spoof of catastrophe movies, including the 1957 Paramount picture Zero Hour!, from which it steals the narrative and primary characters, as well as numerous elements from Airport 1975 and subsequent Airport films. Surreal humor and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, running jokes, and obscure humor, are staples of Airplane!.
