The series began with a 90-minute TV-movie, ''San Francisco International Airport'', that served as a pilot. Jim Conrad (Pernell Roberts) is the [[TheHero general manager]] of the titular airport.

All of these plot threads intertwine throughout the movie, so much so that each of the main cast gets a chance to interact with one another. Filling out the helpful assistance role would be Bob Hatten (Creator/CluGulager), the airport's security chief.
