What it’s about
Between 1967 and 1972, more than 300 commercial aircraft were hijacked worldwide—over 130 in the U.S. alone. While D.B. Cooper’s case became folklore, McNally’s saga continued with prison breaks and further twists. ‘AMERICAN SKYJACKER’ presents the events in McNally’s own words, intercut with period-accurate recreations and archive material.
