Infamous mystery man D.B. Cooper is at the center of a new Netflix documentary about the enduring legacy behind his 1971 headline-grabbing supposed disappearance.
“D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!” debuts on the streamer July 13. The official logline reads: “In 1971, a skyjacker parachutes off a plane with a bag of stolen cash — and gets away with it. Decades later, his identity remains a compelling mystery.”
Cooper demanded 200,000 and four parachutes after hijacking a flight out of Portland, Or, in the middle of the night. He then jumped out of the aircraft and was never seen (or caught) again. Cooper has become a sort of folklore anti-hero, with commentators musing on his “badass” persona that made him “kind of a god.”
Dubbed an “anti-hero individualist thinker,” Cooper has been at the center of numerous conspiracy theories, with the FBI saying that now “citizen sleuths” may have cracked what really happened to Cooper.
