## Synopsis

Richard Jewell is a 2019 American biographical drama film directed and produced by Clint Eastwood and written by Billy Ray.

The film depicts the July 27, 1996, Centennial Olympic Park bombing and its aftermath, as security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, and alerts authorities to evacuate, only to later be wrongly accused of having placed the device himself.
