"The film is based on the real people and events of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing: Security guard Richard Jewell goes from hero to suspect, falsely accused, and sullen to death more than a decade later.
During the Olympics, Jewell found a backpack containing a tubular bomb, then raised the alarm and helped clear the area. However, the bomb detonated, killing one person and injuring many others.
Jewell was initially hailed as a hero, but then law enforcement agencies believed he had actually planted the explosives, and they leaked information that "Jewell may be a suspect in the incident" to a reporter for the Atlanta Gazette. Since then, Jewell's life has been turned upside down, and he has become the number one suspect. The FBI raided his home twice, and the media portrayed him as an overweight failed cop and a mama boy. He was hated by many and became a late-night joke.
After 88 days, the FBI cleared Jewell and apologized to him, but his reputation was gone and his life went from bad to worse. Jewell died of weight-related health problems in 2007 at the age of 44. "

I'm actually a person who doesn't dare to watch real story adaptations, but loves watching these kinds of movies. When I watched it, I felt very powerless, and the more I watched it, the more angry I became, and the more powerless I became after watching it. Even in the modern age with a more robust rule of law, such things cannot be avoided.
