Manhunt

Security guard Richard Jewell saves hundreds of lives when he discovers a bomb at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. But Jewell quickly becomes the focus of FBI investigators who suspect his guilt.

FBI agents investigate Jewell as a "hero-bomber" and leak his name to the press, kicking off an international trial-by-media. Meanwhile, ATF agents raise doubts as bombings continue.

While Richard Jewell fights back against the FBI and the media, ATF Agent Embry investigates a serial bomber and discovers a crucial link to the Olympic bomb.

The FBI identifies serial bomber Eric Rudolph and gives chase, but Rudolph escapes into the wilderness. Richard Jewell proves his innocence and decides to appeal to the press for help.

The FBI search for Rudolph spins out of control as antigovernment locals and Rudolph's family push back. Meanwhile, Richard confronts inner demons and calls a dramatic press conference.

Local militias rally around Eric Rudolph and attack the FBI. The FBI militarizes, and escalates to the brink of war. Meanwhile, Embry investigates and learns that Eric is not who he seems.

Richard Jewell appears on 60 MINUTES and is dramatically vindicated on national TV. Meanwhile, Eric Rudolph manipulates locals, militia, and FBI alike as he plans a major counterattack.

FBI agent Brennan realizes he needs to change course radically to catch Rudolph, and allies with Embry to do so. Meanwhile, the journalist who broke the Jewell story confronts her wrongdoing.

FBI agent Brennan appeals to the militia leader with the truth about Eric, and a call for unity and moral courage. The militiamen join forces with the FBI to hunt Eric Rudolph down.

Eric Rudolph, starving and bereft of allies, is captured dumpster-diving. He pleads guilty to the Olympic Bombing and three others, finally proving Richard Jewell's innocence to the world.
