Hilarious 1980 movie. After the navigator and both pilots are among multiple
people on an airline heading to
Chicago from Los Angeles that get sick from some strange foodbourne illness, a doctor and two flight attendants seek the
help from everyday man
Ted Stryker (the ex-lover of one of the flight attendants) who has trouble just going near a plane since he made what he believed to be a bad move during an airstrike in the Vietnam War.
The movie is known for it's very random humor (i.e. a group of reporters is getting info about the crisis when one of them says "Okay boys, lets get some pictures". They then walk over to a
wall with framed photographs of airlines and randomly start taking them down and walking out the door).
