They put this one out before. The same type of plot and story, that is. It was called "Nine To Five", and a lot of the same type of action follows. Talk, talk, talk....etc. Little sub plots to the main so-called drama of getting an airliner landed in fog, and a murder. Landing in fog is not a big deal, and hasn't been since the Navy, The Air Force, and every commercial Airline in the world found landing patterns, and high wattage lighting.
The other stories are a stupid movie star, and her stupid life, a crook who's just removed a partner in crime permanently, and a pilot who's about to be permanently grounded. They all coalesce into an hour long "Grand Hotel" type story where everyone almost runs into each other, but it all works out in the end. Almost. I'm not gonna tell you anymore than that; except that nothing I've said is quite what it seems. The movie star turns out to be intelligent and gracious, her agent not a bad sort. The pilot who was a hero in Korea (and saved the airport director's life) remains true to who he is. Actually, he's a good guy all the way through with a sad end. Stu's vacation?? ?? I'm NOT gonna tell you everything; that just wouldn't be fair.
Now, I know that this suggestion might be a stretch, but if it were expanded and modified a bit, you'd have a story very similar to Alex Hailey's "Airport". Yeah, I said it was a stretch, but run it around the block and see what YOU think. A solid 10, and worth staying up for.
