Take a luxurious, privately-owned 747 jumbo jet full of VIP's. Load it with a cargo of priceless art treasures and send it flying over the hazardous Bermuda Triangle. Add a few desperate hijackers for good measure and you've got the makings of one of the most harrowing adventure stories ever put on film! James Stewart is the philanthropic owner of the doomed plane and Jack Lemmon is the fearless pilot risking death at every turn in an attempt to save the luxury airliner when it is skyjacked and sent crashing to the ocean's floor. Aboard for the ill-fated trip are Lee Grant, Brenda Vaccaro, Joseph Cotten, Olivia de Havilland, Darren McGavin, Christopher Lee and George Kennedy.

Ruth Batchelor

One thing you can find out from this disaster is that if you're ever in a plane that crashes under water, you could come out alive. And that's something, isn't it?

I don't know why anybody flies anymore, what with Airport, Airport 75, and now Airport 77 informing us, with unvarying formularized precision that unless we're big movie stars, we may never get to our destinations.

I mean, whadaya gonna say? It's not Wertmuller? You've got to take these things on their own level, and they've finally made one 30 feet under.

Airport '77 sounds like it would be the dopiest of them all, but it's actually not bad, thanks to a surprisingly strong cast and a tendency to avoid any camp.
