ONLINE SCREENING In exclusive interviews and air traffic control audio, #SKYKING tells the story of Horizon Air ground service agent Richard “Beebo” Russell, who clocked into work, stole a $33 million plane, and took off into the skies of the Pacific Northwest—embarking on a white-knuckle flight that came to embody the hopes, dreams, and despair of the American working class.
