Synopsis:
This is a parody of films about airplane catastrophes in which all the passengers and the crew get food poisoning during the flight. Ted Striker, a former military pilot who is now afraid of flying, is on the plane because he wants to meet his former lover, stewardess Elaine. He is now responsible for flying the plane - but will he have the courage to overcome his phobia?
