Shootdown is a 1988 American made-for-television drama film starring Angela Lansbury.
In the film, Nan Moore (Lansbury) loses her son in the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 disaster.
Producer Leonard Hill said that NBC's censors "played the role of grand inquisitor.
Consequently, the film made no mention of the U.S. Air Force destroying all radar tapes after the incident, nor that the Korea pilot Captain Chun took out a grand sum of insurance the night before the flight.
The network also insisted that Seymour Hersh's view that the aeroplane had simply drifted into Soviet airspace be inserted into the film.
