Zero Hour! is a 1957 movie written by Arthur Hailey that served as the basis for the much more widely known spoof of it, Airplane!. The film was a remake of Hailey's 1956 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation play Flight into Danger.

The rights to the movie were purchased by the makers of Airplane!, and they were able to use the screenplay almost verbatim. The movie is not currently available in VHS or DVD. One of its rare public showings was on TV by Turner Classic Movies in a back to back showing with Airplane!

A film with a similar name "Zero: Hour" is currently in production (March 2006), using the new Panavision Genesis digital movie camera, however this appears to be a completely different story.
