FAQ

Richard Jewell

FAQ



    Yes. The film follows the real story of Richard Jewell, a security guard who discovered a backpack full of explosives at the Atlanta Summer Olympics of 1996, raising the alarm before the bomb exploded.

    Initially celebrated as a hero who saved many lives, Jewell was later considered a suspect and, although never officially charged, he was both investigated by authorities and attacked by media.

    Ultimately, Jewell was exonerated and the real bomber was found, but Jewell's personal and professional life was deeply influenced by the ordeal.



    No. He didn't meet her until some time later. He was living with his mother during the time period this film covers.
