The 15:17 to Paris is a biographical drama film directed by Clint Eastwood, released in 2018. The movie is based on the true events of a thwarted terrorist attack that occurred on a Thalys train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris on August 21, 2015.
What sets this film apart is that the three main real-life heroes who thwarted the attack – Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler – portray themselves in the movie. The film provides an insight into their lives leading up to the incident, focusing on their friendship and experiences as they grew up.
The film showcases their individual journeys and their eventual convergence on the train, where they take down a heavily armed attacker, preventing a potential tragedy. Eastwood's approach of casting the actual individuals brings an authentic and unique perspective to the movie.
