Synopsis/Details
In 1971, Dan Cooper meticulously prepares for the heist of a lifetime, boarding a plane with a briefcase he claims holds a bomb. Demanding $200,000 and parachutes, he terrorizes the passengers, evades authorities, and leaps into the stormy night—leaving behind a buried fortune that remains a mystery. Months later, in a dusty Mexican diner, Cooper reunites with his secret accomplice, stewardess Patty Archer, revealing a love that fueled his daring escape. Together, they drive off into the sunset, leaving the FBI—and the world—grasping at shadows.
