'Airport', which became one of the most famous films of all time, reveals the conflicting emotions the personal and psychological problems and the nail-biting tensions faced by the people who live and work behind the scenes in a modern international airport. From traffic control to Customs hall, from the manager's office to the stewardess's rest rooms, its pages are filled with men and women whose private pressures and passions are matched only by the blizzard sweeping across the runways outside.
And in that raging blizzard, a stricken airliner is struggling against all the odds to reach its destination. For seven-suspense-filled hours a blocked runway, a suicide, a mass demonstration, a stowaway, a pregnancy and, most chilling of all, a psychotic with a home-made bomb, bring the plot to a shattering conclusion.
