A bomb was set to go off in Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta in the summer of 1996. A security guard named Richard Jewell found a backpack with three pipe bombs inside and helped clear out the massive crowd, saving countless lives from the blast.
Richard Jewell, starring Paul Walter Hauser and directed by Clint Eastwood, tells the story of how Jewell became the prime suspect of the bombing, accused by the government of planting the bomb to make himself look like the hero.
The trailer is pretty intense and looks at how both the power of the government and media can sway public opinion.
Richard Jewell, also starring Sam Rockwell, comes to theaters Dec. 13.
