In the aftermath of an unspeakable and shocking terrorist attack, Police Sergeant Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg) joins courageous survivors, first responders and investigators in a race against the clock to hunt down the bombers before they strike again.
With 3 casualties and 264 seriously injured from the first explosion, the second bomb is expected to be far more catastrophic.
Weaving together the stories of Special Agent Richard Des Lauriers (Kevin Bacon), Police Commissioner Ed Davis (John Goodman), Sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese (J.K. Simmons) and nurse Carol Saunders (Michelle Monaghan) this visceral and unflinching chronicle captures the suspense of one of the most sophisticated manhunts in law enforcement history and celebrates the strength and courage of the people of Boston.
Written and directed by Peter Berg, behind hit films including Lone Survivor 2016 oil rig disaster flick Deepwater Horizon, this gripping tale will have audiences at the edge of their seats. Slick performances by Bacon and Goodman with Walberg being a macho but not overbearing lead, make this a definite one to watch.
