Airplane! The movie that made Leslie Nielsen a star, and took the comedic style of Mel Brooks, but turned everything up to new insane levels.
In this spoof of the countless disaster movies of the 1970s, the filmmakers poke fun at every cliche imaginable, with a rapid and constant fire of puns (all performed dead serious) and visual gags.

“Airplane! is a splendidly tacky, totally tasteless, completely insignificant flight, a gooney bird of a movie that looks as if it could never get off the ground and then surprises and delights with its free-spirited aerobatics.”
