WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

At the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, security guard Richard Jewell (Hauser) manages to save thousands of lives from an exploding bomb that he discovers at the event. Although he is hailed as a hero at first, he begins to be vilified in the press when he is falsely reported to be the one behind the attack, and must rely on the help of his attorney Watson Bryant (Rockwell) to clear his name…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Clint Eastwood takes a close look at the scrutiny that the innocent security guard of the title went through after being accused of terrorism in his latest film, co-produced by both Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill who were at one point attached to star.
