The Big Bus is a 1976 American satirical comedy film[2][3] directed by James Frawley, and starring Joseph Bologna and Stockard Channing. Parodying the then-popular disaster genre, it follows the maiden cross-country trip of an enormous nuclear-powered bus named Cyclops.
The Big Bus initially received mixed reviews, although the New York Times gave the film a favorable review.[4] The film performed poorly at the box office but has since been recognized as a cult classic of its genre.[5] Frawley won the audience award at the 1977 Avoriaz Fantastic Film Festival.
