November 24, 1971. A man who calls himself Dan Cooper buys a ticket to Seattle at Portland airport. He is wearing a nice suit and calmly enjoys two drinks before departure. Shortly after the plane takes off, he passes a note to the flight attendant saying there is a bomb in his briefcase. He promises not to detonate the bomb if, immediately after landing in Seattle, he is given $200,000 and four parachutes. He gets what he demands and after the plane takes off back to Mexico, Cooper jumps out with his loot. Since then there has been no trace of him or the money. There are, however, plenty of suspects and witnesses who claim to know who Cooper was. In this documentary, award-winning director John Dower, known for films such as My Scientology Movie and Thrilla in Manila, explores and discovers that stories and testimonials tell a lot more than meets the eye.
