Terror in the Sky is a 1971 television film remake of 1957's Zero Hour!, which itself was based on the 1956 television play Flight into Danger by Arthur Hailey. The film stars Doug McClure, Lois Nettleton, Roddy McDowall, Leif Erickson, Kenneth Tobey, and Keenan Wynn.
Plot
Passengers on a plane headed from the Midwest to the West Coast (Winnipeg to Vancouver in the original; Minneapolis to Seattle in the film) get quite ill after eating the chicken pot pie entree. Both pilots also eat the chicken. Passenger George Spencer, a man who has not flown since the Vietnam War (single-engine planes in the original, helicopter/war choppers in the film), is reluctantly pressed into flying the plane, where he makes an emergency landing.
