À propos de ce film

“There is a bomb in Centennial Park. You have thirty minutes.” The world is first introduced to Richard Jewell as the security guard who reports finding the device at the 1996 Atlanta bombing—his report making him a hero whose swift actions save countless lives. But within days, the law enforcement wannabe becomes the FBI’s number one suspect, vilified by press and public alike, his life ripped apart. Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name, while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

Notes et avis

Good decent film which showed how one persons life can be made a complete nightmare just by doing something heroic, and then subsequently being falsely accused of committing a crime.

Paul Hauser, Sam Rockwell and Kathy Bates do a great job in the retelling of this true story. I was hooked after the first 10 mins. Strongly recommend. Well done Clint!

Clint Eastwood, nobody gets the story out there like he does. A fantastic cast and a story that needed to be told. Richard Jewell......Hero
