橄榄球星之死

★【橄榄球星之死】剧情介绍

影片已纪录片的手法纪录了美国著名职业橄榄球球星帕特·蒂尔曼（Pat Tillman）离开橄榄球界后从军直到死亡的过程，帕特·蒂尔曼原本是美国家喻户晓的球星，身价百万。但自“9·11”发生后，他毅然抛下了百万美元酬劳转而入伍。但胜利女神并没有眷顾他，2004年4月他在阿富汗的一次追捕行动中身亡，但事后的调查却表明事情远不像想象的那么简单，其实他是被“自己人”误杀身亡，而军方俨然掩盖了这个事实......
Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002—and became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately more heroic, than the caricature created by the media. And when the government tried to turn his death into war propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in the Santa Cruz mountains, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death.
Featuring candid and revelatory interviews with Pat's fellow soldiers as well as his family, Amir Bar-Lev’s emotional and insightful film not only shines a light on the shady aftermath of Pat’s death and calls to task the entire chain of command but also examines themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.
