Parkland
weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly
thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at
Parkland Hospital; Dallas’ chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman
who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; the FBI
agents who nearly had the gunman within their grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey
Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK’s security team,
witnesses to both the president’s death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s
rise to power over a nation whose innocence was forever altered.
The ensemble
cast includes James Badge Dale, Zac Efron, Oscar®-nominee Jackie
Earle Haley, Colin Hanks, David Harbour, Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden, Golden
Globe®-nominee Ron Livingston, Jeremy Strong, Oscar-winner Billy Bob
Thornton, Oscar-nominee Jacki Weaver Linings,
Mark Duplass, Gil Bellow and Oscar-nominee Paul Giamatti.
