Summary

On October 21, 2021, on the set of the movie RUST, a prop gun held by actor Alec Baldwin fired a live bullet, wounding the film’s director and killing its cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.

In this documentary, part "who done it" and part tribute to Halyna, investigative filmmakers try to get to the bottom of what really happened on set that day and what, if anything, we can learn from this horrific event.
