The 15:17 To Paris – Based on the true story of three young Americans, Spencer, Alek and Anthony, who became real life heroes, and who play themselves in this movie. Their friendship began in the principal’s office in grade school. They were not fans of rules. They loved playing soldiers, so much so that both Spencer and Alek end up in the military.
While on leave, the three of them tour Europe and almost decided not to take the 15:17 to Paris. Thank goodness they did. Although a lot of it is like watching someone else’s home movies – it’s just about ordinary guys doing ordinary things until “the event.” While Spencer had a hard time measuring up to the requirements of the Air Force, when the chips were down, he champed up and was backed up by his two best buds.
It’s gratifying to watch the French president award them the Knight of the Legion Honour medal. Clint Eastwood directed.
