Additional InformationInspired 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 (United States Marine Corps) 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 comrade 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.

ReviewsHollywood Reporter - [T]his is not a political movie. It focuses as rigidly as a slow salute on the rituals that honor the military dead

Respect for the fallen.
A very moving film,showing the respect for Americas service personnel, killed in combat.Kevin Bacon plays the part of the US Marine Officer,accompanying the body of Corporal Chance Phelps back to his family in Wyoming. Very well made, based on a true story by Colonel Mike Strobel who Kevin Bacon portrays in the film.
