Richard Jewell

“The world will know his name and the truth.”

Richard Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser) wants to be a lawman, and a security guard's job at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics is as close as he has come. When he finds a bag under a bench at Centennial Olympic Park, he moves fast to clear the crowd before the pipe bomb goes off. Clint Eastwood follows Richard afterward, as the FBI and the press turn toward him, and his lawyer Watson Bryant (Sam Rockwell) stands by while his mother Bobi (Kathy Bates) keeps the porch light on.
