Clint Eastwood, the master director of "American Sniper" and "Miracle on the Hudson," has continued to tell the true stories of real heroes, and at 87 years of age, he is still making films consistently, but this time he has reached a new level of cinematic achievement.
The story we are dealing with is the indiscriminate terrorist attack that targeted all 554 passengers on an express train to Paris in 2015. In the midst of extreme fear and tension, it was three kind-hearted young men traveling in Europe who confronted the armed perpetrators. Why were these ordinary men able to stand up to their fearsome opponents?
The film is unprecedented in its pursuit of the ultimate reality, and many people who were on the train at the time of the incident, including the three young people who are the main characters, appeared in the film. This is an unprecedented film that strives for the ultimate in reality.
~STORY~.
On August 21, 2015, a high-speed Thalys train departed from Amsterdam bound for Paris. After entering within the French border, a Muslim extremist suddenly fired automatic weapons. The crew fled to the crew quarters, and while all 554 passengers were terrified, three young men, childhood friends, stood up to the culprit.
The latest film by the top-runner, who continues to take on new challenges even at the age of 87, asks viewers to consider the truth and reality from the perspective of those involved in this era when anyone can face terrorism at any time and any place. The director says, "This film is a story dedicated to ordinary people.
An elderly filmmaker who continues to make films that offer a glimmer of hope to the human conscience, no matter what the times. This attitude of renewing not only the quality of the content but also the production of the film itself is brilliant. Clint Eastwood is a man to be feared!
