Hailey did write a book by the name "Runway zero eight". I don't recall the
name of the movie. I remember seeing the movie in the early seventies, on
TV. I don't think that the name of the movie and book were the same. It's
quite possible that the movie name is one that you mentioned.

I'd have to put the TV movie based on Arthur Hailey's "Runway Zero Eight"
as
the worst movie. It's the classic two man crew gets food poisoning, and
the
hero pax saves the day by landing plane (Martin 404?) scenario.

IMDB has never heard of a movie by that name. Are you sure you don't mean
"Zero Hour"? IMDB says Arthur Hailey wrote it, originally as a TV move
called "Flight Into Danger".
