The Jackal
ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller124 min
After an FBI sting leaves a Russian mobster’s brother dead, a contract killer known only as the Jackal is hired to carry out a high-level assassination in the United States. Bruce Willis is the elusive hitman, shifting identities and staying a step ahead of the hunt. To stop him, deputy FBI director Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier) teams with a Russian major and turns to Richard Gere’s imprisoned IRA militant, one of the few people who can identify their target. The search stretches across borders as officials race to find a man whose face and plans keep changing.
