JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT opens
in the U.S. today.
Based on the CIA analyst created
by the late espionage master Tom Clancy, JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT is a
blistering action thriller that follows Ryan (Chris Pine, “Star Trek”) from his
quiet double-life as a veteran-turned-Wall Street executive to his all-out
initiation as a hunted American agent on the trail of a massive terrorist plot
in Moscow.
Ryan appears to be just another
New York executive to his friends and loved ones, but his enlistment into the
CIA secretly goes back years. He was
brought in as a brainy Ph.D. who crunches global data – but when Ryan ferrets
out a meticulously planned scheme to collapse the U.S. economy and spark global
chaos, he becomes the only man with the skills to stop it. Now, he’s gone fully
operational, thrust into a world of mounting suspicion, deception and deadly
force. Caught between his tight-lipped handler Harper (Academy Award®-winner
Kevin Costner), his in-the-dark fiancée Cathy (Keira Knightley) and a brilliant
Russian oligarch (Kenneth Branagh), Jack must confront a new reality where no one
can seem to be trusted, yet the fate of millions rests on his finding the
truth. With the urgency of a lit fuse,
he’s in a race to stay one step ahead of everyone around him.
Produced by Mace Neufeld, Lorenzo
di Bonaventura, David Barron and Mark Vahradian. Based on characters created by Tom Clancy.
Written by Adam Cozad and David Koepp. Directed by Kenneth Branagh.
