Zero Hour 1957 DVD - Dana Andrews / Linda Darnell

A seemingly routine flight turns into a desperate emergency when passengers and crew are struck by food poisoning. With the lives of everyone onboard at stake, the search is on for anyone who can land the plane. If this scenario sounds familiar, it's because the comedy classic 'Airplane!' was a parody of this thrilling precursor to 1970s disaster films.
