The Jackal

A globe-trotting pursuit of a master-of-disguise assassin drives this international crime thriller, as a joint FBI/MVD mission enlists the aid of an imprisoned IRA combatant to stop a brutal hitman known as The Jackal from completing a big hit in Washington DC. Based on Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel and inspired by the 1973 film "The Day of the Jackal," this loose remake stars Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, and Sidney Poitier in an action-packed cat-and-mouse game of espionage, deception, and deadly confrontation.
