action
The film is about the attack on the Thalys train on the evening of August 21, 2015 in the Belgian-French border area.

After all, on a vacation trip through Europe, they take the Thalys express train from Amsterdam to Paris. During the journey, together with Christopher Norman and the critically injured Mark Moogalian, they overpower the assassin Ayoub El Kahzani.
background
Clint Eastwood was not looking for actors for the three Americans celebrated as "Thalys heroes" - soldiers Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlatos and student Anthony Sadler - but let them play themselves. In August 2017, Eastwood arrived in Venice for filming , the premiere took place on February 5, 2018 in Hollywood . The title “15:17 to Paris” refers to the train's departure time from Amsterdam Centraal station .
The cost of production was estimated at $ 30 million. The film grossed around $ 57 million in cinemas worldwide, including $ 36 million in the United States.
criticism
“That's a strong impression of the film: these heroes play themselves, but they don't produce themselves. They have just given up their shyness in front of the camera to the point that one can watch them without torture, but their shyness of any kind of falsehood remains. On the one hand, this contributes to the fact that the whole film remains a fundamentally sympathetic undertaking - and on the other hand it condemns it to absolute boredom. "
“The simple drama recapitulates the life story of the three soldiers who grew up in a strictly religious environment. In the fictionalization striving for authenticity, the men play themselves. The staging of the religious edifying film, however, counteracts Christian values by glorifying violence. "
