Why Watch This

This is the only unsolved hijacking in American aviation history, and the series leans into that irresolution rather than forcing a theory — amateur investigators each present competing suspects with real conviction, and the film lets you sit with the fact that nobody actually knows.

If D.B. Cooper's still-unsolved mystery appealed, Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi and Who Killed Jill Dando? sit in that same frustrating, unresolved territory.
