Though Airplane II: The Sequel does indeed exist, there was a very different concept that could have made for a more beautiful continuation.

Tom Cruise is at it again on the set of a Mission: Impossible movie.

This Succession star had a once-in-a-lifetime celeb encounter.

Another Ford aviation story is officially in the books.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good plane mystery, and Peacock's upcoming limited series Departure looks like it’s going to scratch that very specific itch judging by its brand new trailer. The show stars Archie Panjabi and Christopher Plummer as investigators brought on to locate a passenger aircraft that mysteriously vanished mid-flight and try to determine what happened to it. The investigation becomes more complicated when a survivor is rescued from the ocean and quickly becomes a terrorism suspect. Departure looks equal parts twisty mystery and conspiracy thriller, as it appears that forces within …

Airplane! is stuffed with jokes. The classic 1980 comedy from the trio of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker — likely my favorite film comedy of all time — uses a strong, simple, fundamental plot (borrowed from a couple of earnest "airplane dramas" like Flight Into Danger and Zero Hour!) as a sturdy skeleton to hang as many jokes in as many different forms as possible. From sight gags to wordplay to non sequiturs to even the abrupt mimicry of television commercials, if ya don't like one joke in Airplane!, just wait, like, two seconds: another one's coming posthaste. …

The plane crash central to season 2 of Breaking Bad has some crazy similarities to a real-life event from 1986. Was this intentional or a coincidence?

Airplane! still stands as one of the funniest movies ever made. It is a parody of the airplane disaster movies which were popular for a time. The film follows a flight which is put in danger when a severe bout of food poisoning incapacitates the pilots and many passengers, and the desperate efforts to land it safely. Of course, the movie doesn't take that premise seriously at all, only using it for an excuse to deliver some wild humor.
