The remarkable story of U.S. Air Force Tech Sgt. John Chapman, a Medal of Honor recipient who died in a one-man stand during the war in Afghanistan, is being brought to the big screen in a new film directed by Ron Howard.
Titled “Alone at Dawn,” the film will depict Chapman’s final moments of heroism during the 2002 Battle of Takur Ghar, when he fought to his death defending his team on a remote Afghan mountain. His courage and sacrifice made him one of the most revered figures in modern U.S. military history.
