Need a break from COVID-19 24/7?  Airplane! (1980) is the next in the ImmigrationProf “At the Movies in the Age of Coronavirus” series.

Airplane! is a parody film. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (yes, the basketball legend), and Lorna Patterson. The film, known for surreal humor and slapstick comedy, parodies the disaster film genre.
