Opis in English 

Based on the true experiences of Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl, who wrote eloquently of them
in a widely circulated 2004 article, Taking Chance is a profoundly emotional look at the
military rituals taken to honor its war dead, as represented by a fallen Marine killed in Iraq,
Lance Corporal Chance Phelps. Working as a strategic analyst at Marine Corps Base
Quantico in VA, Lt. Col. Strobl (Kevin Bacon) learns that Phelps had once lived in his
hometown, and volunteers to escort the body to its final resting place in Wyoming. As Strobl
journeys across America, he discovers the great diligence and dignity in how the military,
and all those involved with preparing and transporting the body, handle their duties. Equally
important, he encounters hundreds of people affected by Chances death, a vast majority of
whom never knew him. This collective grieving eventually causes Lt. Col. Strobl, a veteran of
Desert Storm now assigned to office duty, to probe his own guilt about not re-deploying to
Iraq for the current conflict. Arriving in Wyoming, Lt. Col. Strobl completes his catharsis
when he encounters Chances gracious family and friends, and discovers an extraordinary
outpouring of community support.
