There was the movie Airport in 1970, then Airport 1975 (in 1974). So when Airplane! came out in 1980, we just assumed it was a parody of the earlier Airport films. But the script came from an even earlier airline disaster drama, the 1957 movie Zero Hour! The team of Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker just added ridiculous punch lines. (via Digg)
