The Zapruder film is a silent 8mm color motion picture sequence shot by Abraham Zapruder with a Bell & Howell home-movie camera, as United States President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. Unexpectedly, it captured the President’s assassination.

Zapruder Film Audience Reviews

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is certainly one of the most significant video documents of the 21st century. As much as the title of the review may apply to president Kennedy, it's the complete opposite for Abraham Zapruder. As intense and heartbreaking as the document is, it would, most likely, even been a lot more haunting if we could hear his reaction to what he just saw.There were no television cameras filming the incident and we wouldn't have the actual moment on tape if it hadn't been for this amateur filmer. Would it have been better that way? I don't know. It's truly disturbing and what followed afterward concerning legal consequences and Jack Ruby is utterly frustrating. What saddens me even more than looking at Kennedy in this tape is looking at his wife.
amandakstroud I don't think there's another piece of film that has been more dissected than the Zapruder film. For an amateur with vertigo, I think he did a very commendable job of capturing the scene, even as chaos ensued. From the Umbrella Man, to the Black Dog Man, to the Badgeman, this video has been the source of so many alleged "sightings" and conspiracy theories. While gruesome, it is also riveting. You cannot help but look closely at the film--to try to see what others have seen, or to spot something new--up until the goosebump-inducing frames when the President is shot.I ultimately gave this 9 out of 10. Honestly, this was arbitrary. How do you put a number on such history?
kitkat41810 This film would be a great piece of history if in fact it was a real film of the Kennedy assassination. The are far too many mistakes in this film for me to point out. It is a film of the Kennedy assassination, but many of the important facts have been altered. There are missing scenes, and many of the scenes, after the president's limo passes the sign, don't fit in. Both Kennedys move noticeably slower then the other four people in front of them. Next time you watch this film look for things that don't add up, such as the Texas Gov. and his, along with the SS men in the front, lunge forward but you can see that the limo is not stopping or slowing down, in fact is is accelerating. This film is clearly an attempt at a cover up.
Vincent-11 This is a strange piece of film to "rate." It's only 26 seconds of some of the most historic (and gruesome) film ever captured -- by chance as much as anything. One wonders what the results would be these days when every third person on the parade route would be wielding a cam-corder.
