Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
Airport 1975 is good, exciting, corny escapism and the kind of movie you would not want to watch as an in-flight film. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The movie does offer its share of thrills and cheesy, unsophisticated fun. Just don't watch it if you're planning any air travel soon. Read full review
