Airplane II: The Sequel
“For the ride of your life... All you need for Christmas are your two front seats!”
A faulty computer causes a passenger space shuttle to head straight for the sun, and man-with-a-past Ted Striker must save the day and get the shuttle back on track – again – all the while trying to patch up his relationship with Elaine.
