Plot Synopsis

Directed by Louise Malkinson, MH370: THE PLANE THAT DISAPPEARED is a three-part documentary that chronicles Flight MH370, a plane with 239 people aboard that vanished from all radar in 2014. Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 was supposed to be a routine trip: A redeye from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, with 239 passengers and crew on board. But shortly after takeoff on a calm 2014 night, MH370 vanished from radar screens for good. The shocking disappearance of a commercial airliner made headlines, sparked riots, plunged the passengers' next of kin into a nightmare, and generated a global search for answers that never came. Set across seven countries, this gripping documentary series from RAW uses powerful archives to reconstruct the night of the disappearance, giving viewers the chance to explore three of the most contentious theories about the plane's disappearance. It also features interviews with family members, scientists, journalists, and the ordinary people around the world who, after nine years, refuse to give up hope of an explanation. It's a story full of conspiracies and rabbit holes, shadowy figures and official silence -- but most of all, it's an opportunity to keep alive the memory of those who were lost in one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time and to keep pushing for answers. All three episodes of MH370: THE PLANE THAT DISAPPEARED dropped on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 on Netflix.
