Airline Apologizes After Graphic Film Plays On Every Screen During Flight

Once the movie started, it was "impossible to pause, dim, or turn it off," according to one alleged passenger.
Airline passengers were floored after a racy film played on all the plane’s screens during a recent Qantas flight from Sydney to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.
The Australian airline said passengers were unable to choose movies individually on the Oct. 5 flight due to technical problems, so crew members selected a film for the entire cabin from a small list of options.
“Our crew members had a limited list of movies that they were able to play across all screens on the aircraft and based on the request from a number of passengers, a particular movie was selected for the entire flight,” Qantas said in a statement to NBC News on Tuesday.
Qantas did not specify in its statement which film was shown, but multiple passengers posted photos of their screens showing Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn’s R-rated drama “Daddio.”
According to the U.S. Motion Pictures Association, “Daddio,” directed by Christy Hall and released in 2023, is rated R “for language throughout, sexual material and brief graphic nudity.”
