Child, could I borrow your guitar? I thought maybe I could cheer her up of course. Thank you. Thank you.

Airplane! is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams. The film is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour! It stars Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson. Ex-fighter pilot Ted Striker is a traumatized war veteran turned taxi driver. His wartime girlfriend, Elaine Dickinson, now a flight attendant, leaves him before boarding her assigned flight from Los Angeles to Chicago. Ted abandons his taxi and buys a ticket on the same flight to try to win her back. After the in-flight meal is served, several of the passengers and the flight crew fall ill, including Captain Oveur. Passenger Dr. Rumack discovers that the fish served onboard caused food poisoning. With Elaine's help as co-pilot and Rex Kramer's guidance, Ted is able to land the plane safely with the passengers suffering only minor injuries, despite the landing gear being sheared off. The two watch as "Otto" takes control of the plane, inflates a female companion, and takes off. Rescue vehicles arrive to help unload the plane.
