Travelers were shocked when an airline played a sexually graphic movie on all passengers’ screens during an international flight – with no way to turn it off.
The incident took place on a Qantas flight from Sydney, Australia, to Japan’s Haneda Airport last week. Qantas, Australia’s flag carrier, confirmed the incident to FOX Business on Sunday.
Qantas did not reveal the film to FOX Business, but news.au reported it was “Daddio,” a movie starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn.
According to the movie’s IMDB page, the film is rated R for “language, sexual content and brief graphic nudity.”

A distraught passenger wrote about the incident on Reddit and said the film was “impossible to pause, fade, or turn off.”
“It featured graphic nudity and lots of sexting – the kind where you can read the text on the screen without needing headphones,” wrote a Reddit user in a post on r/QantasAirways.

“It took about an hour before they switched to a kid-friendly movie, but it was uncomfortable for everyone, especially the families and the kids.”
A Qantas representative told FOX Business that individual movie selections were unavailable due to a technical issue. Team members switched to a family-friendly film when they realized they couldn’t solve a technical glitch.
“The movie was clearly not suitable for the entire flight and we sincerely apologize to customers for this action,” said a representative. “All screens have been switched to a family-friendly movie on every flight, which is our standard practice in rare cases where individual movie selection is not possible.”
