#SKYKING Plot and Cast
This documentary examines the case of Richard “Beebo” Russell, a 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent. Known to all as quiet and unassuming, he arrived at work in a shirt reading “sky’s no limit,” commandeered a $33 million aircraft, and launched into the skies above the Pacific Northwest. His white-knuckle flight became a symbol of working-class hope, dreams, and despair, while raising urgent questions about the U.S. mental health crisis.
