In 1998, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed mid-flight over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew members on-board. Falling wreckage then resulted in a further 11 fatalities.
Firth plays Jim Swire, a GP whose daughter Flora was a passenger on the flight. Her death led him to embark on a lifelong campaign for the truth. Jim travels across the world and navigates nebulous political divisions to represent British victims’ families, and get to the bottom of what happened that evening over Lockerbie.
