This precursor to later "epic" 70's disaster films illustrates 12 hours in the lives of the personnel and passengers at the "Lincoln Airport." Endless problems, professional and personal, are thrown at the various personnel responsible for the safe and proper administration of air traffic, airline management and aviation at a major US airport. Take one severe snowstorm, add multiple schedules gone awry, one elderly Trans Global Airlines stowaway, shortages, an aging, meretricious pilot, unreasonable, peevish spouses, manpower issues, fuel problems, frozen runways and equipment malfunctions and you get just a sample of the obstacles faced by weary, disgruntled personnel and passengers at the Lincoln Airport. Toss in one long-suffering pilot's wife, several stubborn men, office politics and romance and one passenger with a bomb and you have the film "Airport" from 1970. 《国际机场（Airport）》：机场很忙【北美历史票房榜043】。《国际机场》。 贝克斯菲尔德（伯特·兰卡斯特 Burt Lancaster 饰）是林肯机场的总经理，繁忙的工作让他总是将家庭摆在人生的次要位置，导致备受冷落的妻子辛迪（达娜·温特 Dana Wynter 饰）最终选择了离开。 就在贝克斯菲尔德的婚姻遭遇了破坏性的打击的同时，他的事业也发生了前所未有的危机，一架飞机抛锚在了跑道上，阻碍了其他飞机起飞，更糟的是，另一架飞机上，一名恐怖分子引爆了炸弹，导致飞机严重受损，必须使用跑到着陆，否则就会机毁人亡。在飞机专家帕特洛尼（乔治·肯尼迪 George Kennedy 饰）的帮助下，贝克斯菲尔德凭借着惊人的胆识和智慧最终顺利化解危机，不仅如此，他还和女助手开启了一段罗曼史。
