The World War II movie, starring Pierce Brosnan, takes inspiration from the tale of Bernard Jordan, one D-Day veteran who was determined to attend the landings’ anniversary celebration, no matter what it took. The Last Rifleman centers around fictional Northern Irish World War II veteran Artie Crawford, who goes on a secret trip to Normandy, to commemorate the anniversary of the D-Day landings and pay his respects to his fallen comrades. Speaking with Deadline, Samuel Goldwyn Films President Peter Goldwyn said, “We’re thrilled to bring this heartwarming and poignant story of a war veteran to audiences in the U.S. We’re confident this crowd-pleasing true story will have universal appeal across the whole country.”
