The Stolen Airliner is a 1955 British Children's Film Foundation production, directed by Don Sharp and starring Fella Edmonds, Diana Day and Michael Maguire.

It was Don Sharp's debut feature film as director, although he had directed some documentaries, following his decision to abandon acting.

No great demands are made on the boy and girl players, who, on the whole, acquit themselves with credit, but the adults are less effective; Uncle George, in particular, plays in a brusque, unsmiling manner which it is hard to believe is attractive to children.

The villains are suitably obvious; their excessive ineptitude, however, to some extent weakens the tension at moments of danger.
