Airport (1970)

While a snowstorm paralyzes a Chicago airport, a flight to Rome is diverted when the crew identify a desperate suicide bomber. With this box-office hit, writer-director George Seaton set the template for all future disaster epics: plenty of suspense, multiple dramatic storylines, and an all-star cast including Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin, Jean Seberg, Jacqueline Bisset, George Kennedy, Van Heflin, and Helen Hayes. This special screening is presented in 70mm.
