Directed by Ross Katz
Inspired by the true story of the United States Marine who volunteered to escort the remains of a nineteen year old soldier who was killed in Iraq to his small hometown in remote Wyoming, Taking Chance stars Kevin Bacon in the feature directorial debut of Oscar-nominated producer Ross Katz. Lance Corporal Chance Phelps (USMC) was just nineteen years old when he was killed during active duty. Now, as Lance Corporal Phelps is prepared for his final journey back home, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl (USMC) (Bacon) makes it his personal mission to ensure that his fallen brother is laid to rest with the proper respect. As the journey begins, Lieutenant Colonel Strobl gains a greater appreciation of the sacrifices made in war than ever before. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"First up is already the front-runner for my festival favorite. It’s called Taking Chance and stars Kevin Bacon as Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl. Based on the real journals of Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl, this film follows the transport of a fallen soldier, named Chance Phelps, back to his home to be buried. Strobl volunteers for the duty of transportation escort. It turns out that this is an extremely serious duty and honor within the military. Strict guideline " [More]
