''Airport'', directed by George Seaton and released in 1970, was the first in a series of {{Disaster Movie}}s produced in that decade and centering around aircraft in distress.

A TV-movie and miniseries was also created in the aftermath of ''Airport''; ''Film/SanFranciscoInternationalAirport''. (The miniseries simply dropped the word Airport). Today, it's probably best known for having inspired ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', TheParody of '70s disaster movies.
