The Pursuit of DB Cooper (1981)

Synopsis: A thriller that begins with Treat Williams jumping out of a plane with a bag containing $200,000. Amazingly, this airborne robbery, with its James Bond-style stunt, really happened and DB Cooper vanished into myth. This is where fiction takes over, conjuring up Cooper's subsequent life and the attempts of a former Green Beret (Robert Duvall) to track him down.

Sadly, the picture bungles a nifty idea and it's rarely more than routine. Buzz Kulik replaced John Frankenheimer as director before Roger Spottiswoode was brought in to finish the job.

Cast: Robert Duvall, Treat Williams
Runtime: 96 min
