Together, they made the 11-hour, 5,639-miles trip braving -60C temperatures.
The incredible journey made news around the world.
Why did they stowaway on the plane?
The documentary – made by filmmaker Richard Bentley – tells the two mens’ story.
But why did they take such extraordinary action and undertake the brutal, extreme journey?
Thomas says that he met Carlito in a nightclub in Johannesburg in South Africa and plotted a new life in the UK.
“My background was very hard,” Themba says.
“I was raised by my cousin, who adopted me as a child.
“Everything was normal until she passed away. I was going to school but I had to drop out because I couldn’t pay the fees.”
What happened to the two men?
Sadly, Carlito fell to his death.
His body was discovered in an air-conditioning unit in Richmond, south-west London.
However, Thomas – now 30 and living in Liverpool under the name of Justin – remarkably survived.
