Richard Jewell

Synopsis

It is an ambiguous story about Richard Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser), who worked as a security guard at the Olympic Games of 1996 in Atlanta. When a bomb was discovered during the concert, he saved hundreds of lives and instantly became the hero of America. However, Richard did not have to rest on his laurels: the FBI took interest in his person with a lack of other suspects, and his name was leaked to the press. Despite the fact that the secretive agencies can’t prove Jewell’s guilt, he was harassed in the media and became an outcast. Attorney Watson Bryant (Sam Rockwell) is the only person who believes in Richard’s innocence, and together they start a fight with the FBI and the media trying to restore Jewell’s fair name.
