Following “Patriot’s Day” comes another film surrounding the events of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, in “Stronger”.

Unlike “Patriot’s Day”, “Stronger” focuses mainly on the events following the bombing, and the effects it has on the life of Jeff Bauman (played by Jake Gyllenhaal). The inspired true story sees Jeff at the marathon in an effort to win back his ex-girlfriend Erin (played by Tatiana Maslany), who was competing in the 42km run. The blast occurred at the finish line, causing Jeff to lose both of his legs.

The film is out in cinemas from September 22, which screams “Oscar”, in the meantime check out the trailer above.

Stronger is the inspiring true story of Jeff Bauman, an ordinary man who captured the hearts of his city and the world to become the symbol of hope following the infamous 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Jeff, a 27-year-old, working-class Boston man who was at the marathon to try and win back his ex-girlfriend Erin (Tatiana Maslany). Waiting for her at the finish line when the blast occurs, he loses both his legs in the attack. After regaining consciousness in the hospital, Jeff is able to help law enforcement identify one of the bombers, but his own battle has just begun. He tackles months of physical and emotional rehabilitation with the unwavering support of Erin and his family. It is Jeff’s deeply personal account of the heroic journey that tests a family’s bond, defines a community’s pride and inspires his inner courage to overcome devastating adversity. Filled with raw emotion, humanity and humor, Stronger is the inspirational real-life story of the man who became the living embodiment of “Boston Strong.” The film also stars Academy Award® nominee Miranda Richardson and is directed by David Gordon Green.
