Qantas Airways faced significant backlash after an inappropriate movie was shown during a flight from Sydney to Haneda.

Due to technical issues, passengers were unable to select their own in-flight entertainment, resulting in the crew choosing a single movie for all screens.

The film in question was 'Daddio,' an R-rated movie starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, which includes explicit content such as nudity and sexual material.

Reports from passengers indicated that the film's explicit content, including graphic nudity and visible sexting, caused discomfort among families and children on board.

The uncomfortable viewing experience lasted nearly an hour before crew members switched to a more suitable family-friendly film.

One passenger described the film as 'extremely inappropriate' and noted that it was impossible to pause or turn it off.

Qantas stated they would review their movie selection process to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Qantas operates two daily flights between Sydney and Haneda Airport, with plans to add a third flight in March 2024.

In response to the incident, the airline issued an apology, acknowledging that the movie was inappropriate for the diverse audience on the flight.

The airline's handling of the situation drew criticism online, including from rival Air New Zealand, which emphasized its own movie selection policy.

Many passengers, particularly families with children, found the situation unacceptable for a major airline.

In Australia, individuals must be over 18 to watch R-rated movies, raising further concerns about the airline's decision to broadcast such content.
