In this gripping documentary, director Gillian Pachter reexamines the 2009 "Balloon Boy" incident through new interviews with Richard and Mayumi Heene, journalists, and investigators, as the family maintains their innocence while others accuse them of staging a publicity stunt for viral fame. The film documents the nationwide panic and live international news coverage that ensued when Falcon was found safe at home, hiding in the attic. As the case is revisited sixteen years later, new questions and doubts arise about the Heenes' motivations and the true events surrounding the balloon boy hoax.
