When Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers
in 2002, he became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But
the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately far more heroic, than the
caricature. And when the government tried to turn his death into propaganda, they took on the
wrong family. From her home in Northern California, Pat's mother, Dannie Tillman, led the
family's crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son's life and death. The
Tillman Story resounds with emotion and insight, and goes beyond an indictment of the
government to touch on themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself. USA, 2009, 94 min.
