Mad #176
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Airplot '75" delivers a sharp, satirical skewering of 1970s disaster cinema, as a cast of faded movie stars battles both mechanical mayhem and their own crumbling egos aboard a malfunctioning airliner. Written by Dick DeBartolo and brought to life with razor-sharp visuals by Mort Drucker—both inks and pencils—this Mad classic turns the airport thriller genre on its head with equal parts wit and absurdity.
In "Airplot '75," a gag-packed parody of the "Airport" film series, a cast of faded Hollywood stars scrambles to keep a malfunctioning airliner—and their dwindling fame—from spiraling out of control. With over-the-top performances and zero real flying skills, the actors' biggest challenge might just be surviving each other.
