'flight?' is the definition.
(flight of stairs)

'famous actors catching international' is the wordplay.
'famous' becomes 'star' (as in an all-star cast).
'actors' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'catching' indicates putting letters inside.
'international' becomes 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF).
'star'+'s'='stars'
'stars' enclosing 'i' is 'STAIRS'.
