#Skyking tells the story of 28-year-old Horizon Air ground service agent Richard “Beebo” Russell, who, to the shock of all who knew him, clocked into work wearing a shirt that said “the sky's no limit,” stole a 33-million-dollar plane, and took off into the skies of the Pacific Northwest—embarking on a white-knuckle flight that would come to embody the hopes, dreams, and despair of the American working class, and offer a timely look into the U.S. mental health crisis.
