With the success of "Airport" in 1970, it is inevitable that a sequel will come-hence "airport 1975."
Dana Andrews plays "Scott Freeman" who have to get back to Boise Idaho before morning. He is flying his own small private plane back home. There's one problem: weather problems. When you're up in the air at 10,000 feet-everything counts. Meanwhile, Columbia 409, a 547 jetliner no less is bound for LA but had to change course to Salt Lake City because of bad weather. Little did they know that this change of course would prove to be life threatening to every one on board.
Meanwhile, Scott Freeman has a heart attack in mid air and collides with Columbia 409-killing the CO pilot and the flight officer and seriously injuring the caption, rendering the plane pioltless. This leaves Nancy(Karen Black)responsible at the controls and at the radio.
Alan Murdock(Charlton Heston)is the pilot guiding Nancy at the controls. There is one problem-the terrain in the mountains. The solution? Put a Pilot in 409 in mid air from a helicopter! The first pilot that was sent didn't make it. Alan murdock tries to get in 409. See film to see if he makes it!
This is a good sequel-better than the average sequel they made at the time. Helen Reddy plays a singing Nun-Her acting is Ok, but is a much better singer. Linda Blair is a Kidney Patient on her way to LA for a transplant. Gloria Swanson Plays her self promoting her autobiography-which wasn't published until after her death in 1983.
This is a good example of an all star cast saving the film that could have been better written. I enjoy this film though!
