The Legend of DB Cooper is Explored Once Again in a Trailer For the New Doc I AM DB COOPER

Gravitas Ventures has released a trailer for another documentary that will put the focus on the legendary criminal DB Cooper. The doc is titled I Am DB Cooper, and it tells the story of the unsolved mystery that has captured the imagination of people since the 70s.

The film is half documentary and half narrative film with extensive flashbacks and recreations following Cooper, and it imagines how he got away with everything. It also focuses on a man who claims to be Cooper and says that the cash he took is still buried and the documentary team sets out on a journey to find it.

Here’s the synopsis:

Two bounty hunter brothers encounter an ailing old man named Rodney Bonnifield while coordinating his bail after a violent encounter on a dairy farm involving a machete. Close to his sentencing, he reveals to the bondsmen not only was he responsible for the notorious DB Cooper plane hijacking, but the ransom cash is still buried and he needs their help digging it up. Now up against the clock with Rodney's prison sentence looming, the group set out on a modern-day treasure hunt to recover the money he buried on the Columbia River 50 years ago, uncovering bizarre truths about Rodney Bonnifield and his connection to the only unsolved plane hijacking in U.S. history.

I Am DB Cooper is directed by TJ Regan (Gap Year) and it will be released in select US theaters and on VOD starting December 9th, 2022.
