Qantas airline was forced to apologize after accidentally playing a sexually graphic R-rated film during a recent flight from Sydney to Japan.

When technical difficulties resulted in passengers being unable to select individual movies on the in-flight entertainment systems, flight attendants decided instead to stream Dakota Johnson's 2023 movie "Daddio" for everyone during a portion of the 10-hour flight.

It wasn't long before passengers and crew members realized the movie was wildly inappropriate -- the film was rated R for "sexual material and brief graphic nudity."

The Guardian reported that a spokesperson for Qantas apologized for the mishap, noting that "the movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight."

"All screens were changed to a family-friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn't possible," the spokesperson added.

The airline is reportedly reviewing how the movie was selected.

Passengers took to social media once they landed to share their experience. One wrote that the movie was "40 minutes of penis and boobs." The Guardian reported another wrote, "These poor kids and their parents because you should've heard the audible gasps across the plane."

According to the IMDB Parents Guide, the film features "photos of nude female breasts & a prosthetic penis" being shown "on a phone."
