Directed by David Gordon Green (Our Brand Is Crisis, Pineapple Express) and also starring Emmy-winner Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), "Stronger" is the big-screen adaptation of the best-selling nonfiction book by Bauman and writer Bret Witter, which chronicles Bauman's harrowing, yet ultimately uplifting life story -- in which Bauman, standing at at the finishing line, survived the 2013 Boston Marathon terrorist bombings, but spent several months in the hospital and had multiple operations after losing both of his legs to the blast.

Co-starring Miranda Richardson, the film opens September 22nd.

synopsis:
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."
