Planespotting
Television drama based on a true story about a group of planespotters wrongly accused of being spies. 14 planespotters are arrested for behaving 'suspiciously' at an air base in Greece and are accused of being spies because of the telescopes, radio scanners and aircraft serial numbers they have in their possession. They plead their innocence but the farce turns into a nightmare when the group are held in squalid Greek prisons.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative on the clash between innocent civilian passion and a rigid bureaucratic system quick to perceive threat. It relies on the true story to explore themes of cultural misunderstanding and institutional paranoia.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of uneasy comedy, where absurdity slowly gives way to a chilling reality. The farce of the situation never fully masks the underlying vulnerability of the individual. — MovieFinder Editorial
