Everyone knows Sue, the majestic Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that is the pride of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. Less known is the bizarre seven-year tale of intrigue, perfidy, double-dealing, and government intervention that resulted in the dinosaur-hunting discoverers, members of South Dakota’s Black Hills Institute, being divested of their find, cheated of recognition, and even sent to prison. Assembly of the gigantic fossil is something of a metaphor for filmmaker Miller’s meticulous reconstruction of a story that includes home movie footage of Sue’s discovery and recovery, her 1992 kidnapping by heavily armed FBI agents, a rip-roaring courtroom drama as her ownership falls into dispute, and her eventual sale at auction for a heart-stopping sum.
Hmm⋯在米爸乱挖化石拿去卖也是不行的。这个纪录片的主观感觉偏向主角那边有点多。最后男主描述入狱过程那里真是悲催。

这部纪录片,原以为是... 结果是... 。很说明一个大问题...(防剧透)。4.5星推荐
Sue背后的争议故事。立场上的偏向完全在我可以接受的范围之内,因为问题本就不在孰对孰错,而在本不应有的混乱,后者也恰恰是这部纪录片的主要内容。
