Zero Hour!, released November 13, 1957, was the inspiration for the movie Airplane!. David Zucker and Jerry Zucker bought the rights to the film and parodied it in their 1980 classic. They used some of the lines from Zero Hour! directly into Airplane!.
Zero Hour! starred Dana Andrews and Linda Darnell in a thriller where the flight crew is incapacitated by food poisoning. A WWII pilot suffering from post traumatic stress disorder has to land the plane.
