If any of this sounds familiar to modern audiences, it's likely because the plot of ''Zero Hour!'' was adapted, nearly wholesale (including character names, back stories and even entire hunks of dialog), into the 1980 parody film ''Film/{{Airplane}}''. In this film the LoveInterest played by Darnell is Stryker's wife, and a passenger rather than a stewardess, and little Joey is their son. Other than that, ''Zero Hour!'' is basically ''Airplane!'' with all the jokes taken out.
