‘Lockerbie: A Search for Truth’ Trailer: Colin Firth Demands Answers Over Pan Am Flight 103 Terror Attack
The official trailer for Peacock/Sky drama Lockerbie: A Search for Truth has been released. The limited five-part series is a dramatic retelling of the aftermath of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the deadliest terrorist attack to have ever hit the U.K. The horrific incident saw 259 passengers and crew killed, with a further 11 residents of Lockerbie also losing their lives as the plane came down on the small Scottish town.
Taking place over three decades, Lockerbie tells the story of Dr. Jim Swire, who lost his daughter Flora when Flight 103 exploded from a terrorist bomb just 38 minutes after take-off. Swire risks everything as he mounts a decades-long campaign to find out the truth behind the disaster and seeks justice for those that lost their lives.
