‘McVeigh’ Trailer: Director Mike Ott Revisits the Oklahoma City Bombing 30 Years Later with Alfie Allen

“McVeigh,” which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and will soon be in theaters, tells the story behind the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that left 168 people dead and 675 injured.

Director Mike Ott‘s narrative film “McVeigh” charts the days leading up to the attack, with Alfie Allen portraying domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh. Brett Gelman plays Terry Nichols, with “Barry” breakout Anthony Carrigan, Tracy Letts, and Ashley Benson co-starring.

“Actor Martinez” filmmaker Ott co-wrote the film with his “California Dreams” co-writer Alex Gioulakis.

The official synopsis reads: “A haunting psychological thriller based on one of America’s most infamous figures. After the Waco siege, a chilling plan brews in the mind of army veteran Timothy McVeigh. What follows are the harrowing events leading up to the single deadliest act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.”

“McVeigh” is produced by Miles Alva, Ash Christian, Nicolaas Bertelsen, Joe Pirro, Shaum S. Sengupta, and Monte Zajicek.

The feature is not the first depiction of the tragedy: Acclaimed 2017 documentary “Oklahoma City,” among other films, captured the 1995 terrorist attack.

“Game of Thrones” alum and “McVeigh” lead star Allen previously told Thrillist that acting in the hit HBO series was “harrowing,” especially as his character “started to get tortured,” adding, “So it got a little little bit dark.”

“No disrespect to HBO or any of the directors I worked with — after a while because it’s such a juggernaut of a show, you owe more to the words that they write than the kind of character that you think that you’ve created yourself,” Allen said in 2019. “You kind of have [to] play this game of respecting what they’re doing, but also respecting what you need to bring to it as well.”

Allen was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and later starred in films “Jojo Rabbit” and “How to Build a Girl.”

“McVeigh” will premiere in theaters and on digital platforms on Friday, March 21. Check out the trailer below.
