Set years after the events of Airplane!, the sequel follows Ted Striker, now released from an asylum, as he boards a commercial space shuttle named Mayflower One to reunite with Elaine Dickinson. When the shuttle’s automated systems malfunction and the crew panics, Ted once again becomes the unlikely hero. As the spacecraft veers off course toward the sun, government officials, scientists, and passengers respond with increasing stupidity and chaos. The movie satirizes sci-fi tropes, bureaucratic decision-making, and space-age optimism through nonstop visual and verbal jokes. While more outrageous than its predecessor, Airplane II embraces full absurdity, offering a comedic ride filled with ridiculous scenarios, exaggerated technology, and intentionally silly performances.
