Of the series, comes closest to being a not-bad movie. But that's not saying much, and '77 and '79 are more fun to watch for a laugh.
Both starpower & action are upped this time, but it’s still only marginally entertaining. Heston’s turtleneck is what I’ll remember most.
Get yourself a copy of Towering Inferno and Earthquake! and have a 70's disaster fest. Huge cast, contrived suspense, lousy fashion !!
The plot ups the ante in this sequel to the 1970 original with more horror and more “cheese.” Perfect for late night, salty snack viewing.

Melodrama about a bomber on board an airplane, an airport almost closed by snow, and various personal problems of the people involved.
When an in-flight collision incapacitates the pilots of an airplane bound for Los Angeles, stewardess Nancy Pryor is forced to take over the controls. From the ground, her boyfriend Alan Murdock, a retired test pilot, tries to talk her through piloting and landing the 747 aircraft. Worse yet, the anxious passengers — among which are a noisy nun and a cranky man — are aggravating the already tense atmosphere.
Flight 23 has crashed in the Bermuda Triangle after a hijacking gone wrong. Now the surviving passengers must brave panic, slow leaks, oxygen depletion, and more while attempting a daring plan, all while 200 feet underwater.
Aviation disaster-prone Joe Patroni must contend with nuclear missiles, the French Air Force and the threat of the plane splitting in two over the Alps.
