Onboard system plays adult movie on all screens, passengers can't turn it off; airline apologizes.

A Qantas flight to Japan surprised its passengers after an R-rated movie was inadvertently played on all screens. This incident was due to a technical failure that prevented travelers from stopping the screening of a film containing explicit nudity and inappropriate text messages.

The Airbus A330, which operates the route between Sydney and Haneda (Tokyo), was filled with families who were alarmed by the situation in the in-flight entertainment system. The airline acknowledged the error and apologized for the unpleasant experience endured by the passengers. According to the company, a technical issue prevented users from selecting their own movie.

During the flight, when the crew requested suggestions, a passenger asked to watch "Daddio," a 2023 film featuring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. The plot of this American drama follows a character played by Dakota Johnson who, after arriving from JFK, engages in a conversation with her taxi driver, a role played by Sean Penn. Directed by Christy Hall, the movie contains sexual content and graphic scenes that are not suitable for children. Despite the crew's attempts to address the issue, and a passenger's recommendation, a children's film was tried as a solution.

Qantas was compelled to apologize for exposing an entire flight to the screening of "Daddio," which caused dissatisfaction among the travelers.
