Richard Jewell (2019)



Released December 13th in the US.
Filmed entirely in Georgia.
Based on truths.
The story: In 1986, 31-year-old Richard Jewell was working a humdrum job but had aspirations to be a police officer.
He went on to become a security guard at a college but was let go for being too extreme.
In 1996 Richard found himself closer to his dream as a police officer as he was working security once again.
He always took his job very seriously and was always very respectful of the law and his fellow employees.
While working security at the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia before the upcoming Summer Olympics, Richard found and reported a suspicious package to his fellow policemen.
Having to take any suspiciousness seriously, a bomb squad was called in to investigate.
Shortly after realizing the suspicious package was in fact a threat, many people were seriously injured.
Quickly Richard was considered an American hero for helping secure the area, saving many people's lives.
But after just three short days of public praise, the FBI, along with the media, decided they had reason to believe that Richard was not a real hero, but more of a nobody looking for attention.
