Why it works
The opening establishes an ordinary timeline with night aircraft footage and sparse maps at 0:34–1:40, then makes the missing signal concrete with a document close-up at 2:53–3:03. The red route reversing against a dotted expected path at 3:59–4:14 is the strongest measured replay peak, showing how one visual revision can carry a technical reveal. The six detected shots undercount the visual activity: 38 changes happen inside shots.
