Best of the Big ScreenAIRPORT (1970)
Tuesday, February 17th at 7:30 PM
with introduction by film historian Philip Harwood
George Seaton’s explosive hit was one of film history’s great game changers, launching a new screen genre: the disaster epic. Based on Arthur Hailey’s runaway bestseller, Airport stars Burt Lancaster as the manager of an international airport as he attempts to keep his blizzard-torn facility open to rescue a bomb-damaged jetliner. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Screenplay, the film also starred many of the era’s biggest stars including Dean Martin, Jean Seberg, Jacqueline Bisset, George Kennedy, Van Heflin, Maureen Stapleton, Lloyd Nolan and Helen Hayes in an Oscar-winning role.
