Story Synopsis:
Bruce Willis stars as The Jackal, a ruthless assassin (equipped with a really big gun) hired by international cutthroats to eliminate someone at the very top of the U.S. government—but not if the FBI’s deputy director (Sidney Poitier) and an imprisoned underground operative (Richard Gere) can stop him.
