The Concorde ... Airport '79 is a 1979 American disaster film (in the UK, it was released a year later as Airport '80: The Concorde). The film was the fourth and final installment of the Airport series. Panned by critics, the film made only US$13 million at the box office. Kevin Harrison (Robert Wagner), an arms dealer, attempts to destroy an American-owned Concorde supersonic transport on its maiden flight after one of the passengers Susan Blakely learns of his weapons sales to communist countries during the Cold War. After the Concorde manages to escape destruction by remotely-controlled missiles and rogue fighter aircraft, Harrison attempts to de-pressurize the aircraft at altitude, forcing it to crash in the Alps. This movie is the third and last sequel to Airport. Like the previous sequel Airport '77 this movie is also regarded as unrealistic due to the highly unlikely plot. A number of obvious continuity errors and inconsistencies are found, contradicting both the storyline... full article at wikipedia
