Plot Synopsis

Inspired by the true-life story, LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH is a five-part drama series that centers on Dr. Jim Swire, who, in the wake of the Lockerbie disaster and his daughter's death, is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims' families. On December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie 38 minutes after take-off, with a further 11 residents losing their life as the plane came down over the quiet, Scottish town. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family and life, but completely overturns his trust in the justice system. As the truth shifts under Jim's feet, his view of the world is left forever changed. Exploring events from the disaster and its aftermath, this limited series is an intimate account of a man, a husband, and a father who risks everything in memory of his daughter and the unflinching pursuit of truth and justice. All five episodes of LOCKERBIE: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH dropped on Thursday, January 2, 2025 on Peacock.
