2006 film · directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu
Does Brad Pitt die in Babel?
He plays Richard Jones.
Want to guess first?
Revealing shows only the answer. Everything else stays behind its own curtain.
No.
He is alive when the credits roll.
How it happens, in words. No pictures yet.
His wife takes the bullet, and she lives too.
Richard and Susan are American tourists in Morocco, their marriage strained by the recent crib death of their infant son, when a stray rifle shot fired by two goat-herder boys hits Susan through the tour-bus window. Richard drags her to a remote village, where a local vet stitches the wound and the other tourists abandon them. After an agonizing wait, a helicopter finally airlifts them to a hospital in Casablanca, where Susan is expected to recover. Richard is never physically harmed.
The wounded character is Cate Blanchett's Susan, not Pitt's Richard; she survives.
