The trailer for the movie about a Boston Marathon bombing survivor was released Thursday.
"Stronger", starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tatiana Maslany, tells the story of Jeff Bauman, who was at the finish the day the bombs went off to cheer on his then-girlfriend Erin Hurley.

Bauman, who lives in Chelmsford, lost both of his lower legs in the bombing.
The trailer shows that it details Bauman's relationship with Hurley, his recovery and how his injury affected his relationships.
The movie is based off Bauman's memoir, also called "Stronger," which is a New York Times Bestseller. The book discusses how Bauman helped with the search for the marathon bombers, but it's unclear if the movie will touch on that.
Bauman and Hurley married after the bombing but recently announced their divorce.
