IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Clint Eastwood’s latest film depicting true American heroes takes on a very recent event in history, and more significantly has cast the real-life heroes – friends Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler and Alek Skarlatos – as themselves to recreate their proudest moment on-screen.
