The fourth Airport film may be the silliest of them all, as George Kennedy returns, this time co-piloting with Alain Delon. The plane is on its way to the Moscow Olympics, has a bomb on board, and gets fired upon with missiles that necessitate flying upside-down. A look at the cast list resembles a bad episode of Fantasy Island, but it's always fun to see shameless touches like casting Mercedes McCambridge (Johnny Guitar) as the coach of the Soviet team. If you don't understand the significance

Aeronautically and otherwise, it's a bumpy trip.
Unintentional comedy still seems the Airport series' forte, although excellent special effects work, and some decent dramatics help Concorde take off.
A deafening sonic yawn signs off this desperate finale to Universal's Arthur Hailey-inspired quartet of in-flight entertainments.
The picture's one distinction is that there are more bedroom scenes and suicides than in any other airport movie.
Easily the silliest entry in a series chock-full of silly entries. Not among the very worst disaster flicks, but surely you could find something better.
Terrible junk that is low rent in every category. Abysmal special effects, a script that is pratically incoherent, and great, good and bad actors all going down with the ship mostly because the characters they play make absolutely no sense. Avoid this if at all possible.

An incredible story where a passenger-carrying Concorde is under attack by the French Air Force. This movie has to be seen just to experience the appalling special effects as the Concorde banks to avoid a missile.
