Airport 1975(1974)

5.7/10

dir. Jack Smight

A-Tier

When an in-flight collision incapacitates the pilots of an airplane bound for Los Angeles, stewardess Nancy Pryor is forced to take over the controls. From the ground, her boyfriend Alan Murdock, a retired test pilot, tries to talk her through piloting and landing the 747 aircraft. Worse yet, the anxious passengers — among which are a noisy nun and a cranky man — are aggravating the already tense atmosphere.

Earthquake(1974)

5.9/10

A-Tier

Universal's 2025 4K is Charlton Heston's disaster spectacle in native 4K with the original Sensurround low-frequency rumble preserved. Solid A-Tier video and audio but the disc ships barebones with zero extras. The John Williams score finally has the dynamic range to register. A US Steelbook variant is also out. The Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure are still missing in 4K.
