German (Deutsch)
Die komplette Besatzung eines Flugzeugs wird durch den Genuss verdorbenen Fischs flugunfähig gemacht. Glücklicherweise ist ein des Fliegens leidlich mächtiger Passagier, der ehemalige und geschockte Vietnam-Pilot Ted, an Bord. Der hat den übel riechenden Fisch verschmäht und versucht, seinen Ängsten und den gut gemeinten, aber falschen Funk-Tipps zum Trotz, das Flugzeug heil zu landen.

- a.k.a. Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion 1
Les personnages et les événements de ce film sont fictifs - heureusement ! Robert Hays joue le rôle d’un ancien pilote de chasse obligé de prendre les commandes d’un avion de ligne quand l’équipage succombe à une intoxication alimentaire. Julie Hagerty est sa petite amie/hôtesse de l’air/co-pilote, entourée d’autres acteurs comme Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Leslie Nielsen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar… et d’autres encore. Leurs gags parodient tous les films-catastrophe et l’histoire rebondit sans cesse en un tourbillon étourdissant.

- a.k.a. L'aereo più pazzo del mondo
Ted è un tassista abbandonato dalla fidanzata, hostess sugli aerei di linea. Per riconquistarla si imbarca sul volo in cui lei è in servizio, ma le sorprese non mancano. Il pranzo servito a bordo è infatti avariato, e tra gli intossicati ci sono i piloti. Sollecitato dalla ragazza Ted, pur non avendo mai guidato un aereo, riesce comunque ad atterrare salvando tutti.
