English Summary:
Airport is a 1970 American air disaster-drama film directed and written by George Seaton and starring Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin.[3] Based on Arthur Hailey's 1968 novel of the same name, it originated the 1970s disaster film genre.
The Chicago area is paralyzed by a snowstorm affecting Lincoln International Airport. A Trans Global Airlines (TGA) Boeing 707 flight crew misjudge their turn from Runway 29 onto the taxiway, becoming stuck in the snow and closing that runway. Airport manager Mel Bakersfeld is forced to work overtime, causing tension with his wife, Cindy. A divorce seems imminent as he nurtures a closer relationship with a co-worker, TGA customer relations agent Tanya Livingston.
Vernon Demerest is a TGA captain scheduled to be the checkride captain for the airline to evaluate Captain Anson Harris during TGA Flight 2 to Rome. TGA's flagship international service, named The Golden Argosy, is being operated with a Boeing 707. Although Demerest is married to Bakersfeld's sister, Sarah, he is secretly having an affair with Gwen Meighen, chief stewardess on the flight, who informs him before takeoff that she is pregnant with his child. Bakersfeld borrows TWA mechanic Joe Patroni to assist with moving TGA's disabled plane blocking Runway 29. Bakersfeld and Tanya also deal with Ada Quonsett, an elderly widow from San Diego who is a habitual stowaway on various airlines.
Hungarian Summary:
A Lincoln repülőtéren az utóbbi 30 év leghevesebb hóvihara tombol. A rettenetes időjárás igencsak megnehezíti a repülőtéri személyzet életét. Mel Bakersfeldnek, a repülőtér vezetőjének pedig már amúgy is rengeteg a baja: csődbe jutott a házassága, vigaszt pedig új barátnője, a szintén a repülőtéren dolgozó Tanya Livingstontól remél. A hatalmas hóviharban egy meghibásodott repülő eltorlaszolja a kifutót. Mel tudja, hogy egyetlen ember van, Joe Patroni, aki segíthet a helyzet megoldásában. Miközben azonban Joe megpróbálja megtisztítani a kifutópályát, a TGA római járatán különös dolgok történnek. - Az egyik utas ugyanis különös tervet eszelt ki arra, hogyan juttathatná pénzhez a felségét....
