Parkland

Parkland 2013

Produced by Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, written and directed by Peter Landesman, PARKLAND tells the true story of a tragic day in history you thought you knew. November 22, 1963 was the day that changed the world forever. The day the young American President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas, Texas. In the movie, we follow the story of a group of people who have to make a decision in a very short time after this incredible event that changed their lives and the whole world forever: young doctors and nurses working at Parkland Hospital, their chief physician. The most watched and scrutinized in the story are the Dallas Secret Service, the cameraman who recorded the footage, the FBI agents who caught gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson, who is suddenly forced to control the entire country. Drawn into an unprecedented drama with unimaginable consequences, these heroes act with shock, anger, determination and courage. Seemingly different perspectives create one of the most powerful and gripping stories ever told.
