Synopsis
Comedy and suspense take turns in this crowd-pleasing picture from popular Japanese director Shinobu Yaguchi. Flight 1980 is preparing to take off from Tokyo to Hawaii, and a team of trained professionals is working to see the flight goes smoothly, although many potential problems come to light. Among the possible disasters-in-the-making are nervous and/or upset passengers, a co-pilot who just crashed the simulator, a ditzy flight attendant on her first international assignment, a mechanic who may have left his wrench in the engine, plus numerous minor subplots happening in the terminal, in the air, in the hanger or in the control tower. There’s even something going on with the guy who scatters birdseed before take-off. Despite the hard work and expertise of everyone involved, two unexpected crises put the flight in grave danger. Can Flight 1980 safely land before the storm hits the airport?
