“In the face of fear ordinary people can do the extraordinary”
On Aug. 21, 2015, the world watches in stunned silence as the media reports a thwarted terrorist attack on a train that's bound for Paris -- an attempt prevented by three young Americans traveling together through Europe. The heroic and courageous actions of Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos and Spencer Stone help to save the lives of more than 500 passengers on board.
This film feels like a grounded, real-time account of an extraordinary event. It's earnest and tense, building a quiet suspense that culminates in a moment of raw, unvarnished heroism. The mood is one of quiet observation leading to a sudden, impactful crisis, highlighting the courage of ordinary individuals.
