Los Angeles, CA – Earlier this week, social media took off with the reveal of the identity of DB Cooper as Rodney Lewis Bonnifield of Mount Vernon, Washington. Rodney is the subject of TJ Regan’s new documentary I AM DB COOPER, which will be releasing in theaters and on demand beginning Friday, December 9. I AM DB COOPER is produced by Slow Grind Media, 2x NBA All-Star Isaiah Thomas’ production company.
The film follows two bounty hunter brothers who 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 that he is in fact the infamous DB Cooper, the man responsible for the 1971 plane hijacking in the Pacific Northwest, and the ransom cash is still buried along the Columbia River. Up against the clock with Rodney’s prison sentence looming, the group sets out on a modern-day treasure hunt to recover the money he buried near the 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 half documentary, half narrative mash-up, retelling Rodney Bonnifield’s life of crime, and retracing the steps he took to pull off and get away with the most notorious plane heist in U.S. commercial aviation history.
