Directed by Oscar winner Clint Eastwood with a script from Oscar nominee Billy Ray (Captain Phillips) comes RICHARD JEWELL, a gripping true-story drama of a man who saved scores of lives from a bomb explosion, but who was then vilified by the press and the FBI. Encountering the bombing of Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta in 1996, Jewell was falsely reported to be a terrorist instead of a hero.
Starring Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm, Kathy Bates and with Paul Walter Hauser as Richard himself, and with a plethora of awards to its name already, Eastwood’s film is a scintillating insight into the way the forces of the FBI and the media conspired into creating a scapegoat out of a man whose life should have gone a very different way.
