The gut-wrenching true story of the hero turned prime suspect in the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing is being told through the eyes of director Clint Eastwood in his upcoming film
Eastwood released the dramatic first trailer for Richard Jewell, named for the security guard who discovered a pipe bomb at the Olympics and heroically evacuated people out of harms way, on Thursday
The film follows the events that transpired for Jewell following his life-saving actions and how he was later eviscerated by the press when he became the FBI's number one suspect
   The trailer centers around a tense and frustrating scene where Jewell (played by Paul Walter Hauser) is being bombarded with questions by FBI investigators
 Sitting in the shadows of a dark room, the main investigator (played by Jon Hamm), repeatedly tries to get Jewell to read a specific sentence aloud

It seems as if the FBI is trying to get Jewell to repeat the same line said by the real bomber as a way to compare the voices
   The heartbreaking interview is intercut with traumatic flashes from when Jewell found the pipe bomb at Centennial Park and quickly mobilized passersby to get out of danger
 Later in the trailer, we see Jewell with his attorney (Sam Rockwell) and his mother (Kathy Bates) as they try to defend his innocence
 During the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Jewell was working as a security guard when he spotted a green backpack that contained the bomb
    He brought the pack to the attention of police while simultaneously evacuating people around him
 The blast killed one person and wounded 111 others. Between the blips of other scenes, Hamm's voice continues to push Jewell to say: 'There's a bomb in Centennial Park, you have 30 minutes
'As the tension ramps up in the trailer, Jewell finally says the line and is then pestered to say it again, and again and then to say it louder
    The whole of the trailer serves as a sickening visual of how the FBI helped turn the story's hero into a suspect who would go on to be vilified by the press

 Scruggs, along with several other outlets, wrote scathing pieces pitting Jewell as the bomber without having all the facts
   Jewell and his lawyer were originally set to be played by Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio, respectively
 When the Eastwood had signed on to direct the film, the two were no longer attached as talent but are still serving as producers
 'Clint seemed broken up about the story of Richard Jewell. It still bothered him years later,' Hauser told USA Today
 'He sounded like he was hurting for that family, and wanted the story to come out
'    Hauser continued: 'Elements of law enforcement, put under pressure, found what they deemed to be evidence to fit a previously-decided-upon narrative
 'This is a guy that got screwed over." Jewell had already been crucified by the media when the FBI deemed him no longer a person of interest in October of 1996
 The following year, Eric Rudolph was identified by the bureau as their new suspect after three other bombings occurred
   Rudolph was finally arrested in 2003 and convicted of the crimes two years later
 He was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The real Richard Jewell went on to file several multi-million-dollar libel lawsuits against several media outlets and settled with several
 He died in 2007 at the age of 44 due to complications from diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease
Eastwood's film Richard Jewel is out December 13.
