The Legend Of Barefoot Bandit: A Teenage Fugitive on the Run | Real Stories True Crime Documentary

  • Colton Harris-Moore's superhuman ability to escape capture by stealing airplanes and living in the wilderness made him a modern day folk hero. Fusing documentary, graphic novel style animation, and dramatic recreations, the film contrasts the story of a real kid who fell into burglary to keep from starving with his mass media persona, The Barefoot Bandit. While telling Colt’s larger-than-life story, this film examines the public fascination with underdog anti-heroes and how fame becomes the kiss of death for these outlaws we root for.

      Heh, I was in grade school and saw an illustrated control scheme form the sopwith camel, after that I designed several flight control systems.
      Still though, this guy ACTUALLY FLEW, guy had balls to be sure.

      I have a commercial pilot's license with an instrument rating. During primary flight training it took about 13 hours before I was performing good landings on my own. Flying a light plane is not difficult, but to read a book and then actually do it does indeed show a high level of ability. It's actually amazing.

    This was the most fun I've ever had watching a documentary. It feels like I just watched a movie. I'm ashamed of all of the hate he received with people wishing him dead. He didn't do anyone any real harm, besides consumables everything he had stolen would have been insured anyway. It's a bummer he gave himself up.

      It reminds me of the 30 for 30 "You Don't Know Bo" (About Bo Jackson). I know Im just an online guy, but if you havent seen it and you are a fan of this feel, I bet you "You Dont Know Bo" will be worth your time. The idea was to make if feel a bit like a comic book. You can clearly see the comic book story here while the real story is told if you look at it right. This documentary is UNBELIEVABLE... every once in a while you come across a channel where you can't wait to see the rest of the content- even fewer feature production like this for well over an hour. Well done by the creators. Well done.

      He practically turned himself in. The reason he ended up there was just to show all the searchers back home tbeybdidnt have a chance. That spot he chose to grassland his last plane was the furthest point he could choose from where he lived. There were no forests in the Bahamas to hide in anymore. No more airports to grab another plane. He was literally at the end of the line. At any other time this he run up to people and tell them who he was so he could be chased? No. Just the Bahamas because he wanted to be caught in one last chase. There's no where to hide in the Bahamas.

Many aircraft dont have insurance because the owners want the airplane as a status symbol but cannot actually afford to make payments on the plane, storage, fuel and yearly REQUIRED maintenance. Also, the insurance companies will fight the owners tooth and nail to NOT payout claims as that is not a sustainable business model.

I have to register the plane and u can’t if it isn’t insured. I’d bet 95% of those planes are owned by rich people and the other 5% are probably small business. Nobody owns a plane that can’t afford it u sound real stupid. So insurance companies aren’t going to pay?

    I’m glad the prosecution was lenient on him and only gave him seven years because he didn’t hurt anyone he was just having fun running from law enforcement. This kid Colten was actually very smart in my opinion. He learned how to fly planes and drive boats on his own by reading instructions. When you hear about his upbringing anyone would feel bad for him. Even some people knew he was on the run and still helped him. But he was a loner who mainly did for himself. I hope he is doing well now because I think he’s actually a good person in his heart. And he’s very smart.
