I Am DB Cooper (7/10)

by Tony Medley

100 Minutes.

NR.

DB Cooper is one of the most famous fugitives in history. On November 24, 1971, a man who bought a ticker on a Northwest Orient flight from Oregon to Seattle. During the flight he told a stewardess that he had a bomb and wanted $200,000. The plane landed, off loaded all the passengers and the money was brought on board, and took off again.

Cooper made everyone leave the cabin and sometime later bailed out over the Oregon outback and disappeared.

Back in the day he became famous. In fact, there was a bar in Los Angeles called DB Cooper that existed for years in West LA.

This is hybrid fictional/documentary that has two bounty hunters who find an old man, Rodney Bonnifield, who claims to be DB Cooper.

Told in flashbacks, the young Rodney (Ryan Cory, in an impressive performance) is shown as a troubled man, and it goes into detail about his life. But that is told in flashbacks.

In present day a real live man, named Rodney Bonnifield, tells the story of the hijack in minute detail. The question is, of course, is he really DB Cooper? For people old enough to have lived through the story, that dominated the headlines for several weeks, if not months, it’s an interesting tale.
