Die drei jungen Amerikaner Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos und Spencer Stone (die sich jeweils selbst spielen) wollen durch Europa reisen und sitzen deswegen am 21. August 2015 im Thalys-Zug Nr. 9364 von Amsterdam via Brüssel in Richtung Paris – wo sie einen Terroranschlag verhindern und damit zu Helden werden. Durch ihren mutigen Einsatz werden 500 Menschen gerettet, vor der Heldentat liegen drei Leben mit Kindheitsproblemen und langen Wegen bis zu gefestigten Existenzen. Als Anthony, Alek und Spencer – die letzten beiden sind Soldaten – einschreiten, um den Anschlag zu vereiteln, bewährt sich dann das starke Band, das die drei zuvor geknüpft haben: Ohne ihre starke Freundschaft, die selbst unter dem extremen Stress in der Bahn bestand hat, hätten sich die Männer nicht verteidigen können…
Heute keine Spielzeiten für The 15:17 to Paris in Los Angeles.

I'm not sure how I feel about the entirety of this movie. What I am sure about is the opening moments, and the accuracy of its portrait of three young boys growing up in a Christian household in America. I know this because it was my life. There are certain expectations of you, if you're assigned male at birth, in a home that prioritizes things like prayer on Sunday over Football. You're pushed in a certain direction that radicalizes you at a young age to consider the military as the highest possible honour you could chase in your lifetime. It goes back to the cross, Jesus and sacrifice. It almost makes you godly, so you play with other boys on the playground with your pellet guns your parents bought for you and act out your own sacrificial death (this happens in the film). You go hunting to practice your marksmanship and begin to break down your barriers on the morals of killing another living creature (American Sniper). Spencer has a rifle for hunting and he's no older than twelve. I was given a rifle for Christmas before I was a teenager too. My Dad showed me Full Metal Jacket at a young age, and while it frightened me my Dad took pride in pointing out that R. Lee Ermy's character was what a man was supposed to be. That same boy who was given the hunting rifle in this movie has a Full Metal Jacket poster hung up in his bedroom. It would be absurd if it weren't just how things are, and continue to be. Training young men to give everything to the United States of America is goal number one of raising a boy in America and it starts early. That Eastwood is often shackled to conservative dogwhistle concerns in criticism circles and in the film community at large is a shame, because he's the only director in America who is actively putting a microscope underneath some of the most complicated problems facing masculinity in the Western world. His ambivalence as a director keeps his films from being jingoistic conservative rallying cries, and instead his work as a director points to something as it is, and I can tell you with all sincerity that he's right. I know, because there's an alternate universe where I could have easily been sucked down that path. It could happen to anyone, and more often than not it's what happens. We bury them in the ground and celebrate a life of sacrifice. We call them heroes. A child who was raised to kill and be killed cloaked in the language of saving others, and sometimes they do. That's what this film is about, but as Alek said after the dust had cleared and things settled. "We got lucky."
at this point i think its safe to assume clint eastwood shares "how many likes for our troops?!🇺🇸🇺🇸🤔👍" posts on his facebook and bases all his movies off them
The film dramatizes the 2015 Thalys train attack, following the lives of the three American friends who thwarted the terrorist plot.
The film was directed by Clint Eastwood, the veteran American filmmaker known for his work in both western and biographical drama genres.
Yes, the film features the actual men—Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone—who played themselves to recreate the events of the attack.
