The Bombing of Pan Am 103: Cast, Release Date, Trailer, Plot of New Limited Series - Netflix Tudum
The story of Pan Am Flight 103 is one of a horrific crime — and, ultimately, justice. A new limited series, The Bombing of Pan Am 103, follows that journey from its heartbreaking beginning to its gripping conclusion. You can watch the trailer above.
The bombing of Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, connected residents of the small town with people around the world who lost loved ones in the disaster, forming a new community out of shattered lives. The six-part series examines those lives, exploring the fallout of the explosion and the careful investigation into the perpetrators. Coming to Netflix on July 30, this is the story of the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Great Britain — and the largest murder investigation in the history of Scottish policing.
Read on for more information.
What is The Bombing of Pan Am 103 about?
On Dec. 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people. What followed was the largest murder investigation in the history of Scottish policing, into the deadliest act of terrorism on British soil. Based on the testimony of those who were there, this is the true story of the collaboration between Scottish police and US law enforcement — and the families’ quest for justice.
Can I watch The Bombing of Pan Am 103 trailer?
Yes, check it out at the top of this article. The trailer opens with the horrifying aftermath of Pan Am 103’s crash into Lockerbie. “Twenty-one countries have lost citizens in this attack,” we hear in the trailer, “so inevitably it will require an international effort.”
That international effort unfolds across the rest of the trailer, and the series itself. “Until we catch who’s responsible, who’s to say it won’t happen again?” Ed McCusker (Connor Swindells) asks. There’s a ticking clock on this inquiry, and lives are on the line.
