| 1970's 'Airport' is an example of how you can take a perilous situation and replay it over and over again in three sequels. 'Airport 1975', 'Airport '77' and 'The Concorde: Airport '79' were mediocre at best with the latter an absolutely disastrous disaster film but the the first film is entertaing to a point but can't back away from becoming a full blown soap opera. The movie is based on Arthur Hailey's best selling novel and takes place at a hectic airport on a winter night smack dab in the middle of a treacherous snow storm.
