What Is Erebus: Operation Overdue About?

The premise of Erebus: Operation Overdue without spoilers.

On November 28, 1979, an Air New Zealand jet vanished during a sightseeing flight over Antarctica, carrying 257 passengers. Following the crash into Mount Erebus, eleven police officers were deployed to the harsh Antarctic landscape to recover the victims. As they worked, an investigation began, attempting to determine how a jet could collide with a mountain in daylight. The film explores the events surrounding the tragedy, focusing on a team of four New Zealand police officers involved in the recovery operation, and raising questions about a possible cover-up by the airline.
