A man who shot 192 bullets into his abdomen. The life of Richard Davis can be summed up in this one sentence. 2nd Chance is a documentary based on the chronicle of Davis, who invented a modern bulletproof vest that saved thousands of lives and founded a company called "2nd Chance" after an attack that devasted his pizzeria in 1969. To develop the bulletproof vest, he not only designed a vest made of nylon rolls, but also used himself as a test subject to shoot himself, and eventually became a film director by directing a B-grade action film featuring heroic police officers. About the man who is a gifted businessman, a master of marketing, or an obsessive showman, this film is an allegory of dark secrets, humor and political awakenings, stranger than fiction. This is the first feature-length documentary directed by Ramin Bahrani, who gained fame for several fiction films and a humorous and gloomy account of how America has ruled the world today, based on a warlike, delusional worldview. The film that drove the 2022 Sundance International Film Festival into a delightful horror. ​
