Richard Jewell

Richard Jewell

Richard Jewell is an ordinary American man who worked as a security guard at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, USA. One evening, near a bench in the park, Richard saw a suspicious backpack that was bursting with explosives. But he did not get lost and became the initiator of the evacuation, so thanks to him thousands of people saved their lives. Richard became a real hero of the whole country, but it did not last long. The FBI, and even worse, the media began to suspect Richard that he was the organizer of the terrorist attack. The agents consider him the main suspect, and the journalists simply cling to everything in a row to throw dirt on the bodyguard. It's easy for them to destroy a guy's life, even if he wasn't the one who planted the bomb. It's time to find out the truth. Read more The film is based on real events.
