When a gunman takes five lives with six shots, all evidence points to the suspect in custody. On interrogation, the suspect offers up a single note: “Get Jack Reacher!” So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.

In an unusual move for films within the action genre, Jack Reacher (2012) opens with the first eight minutes of the film entirely dialogue free. It's one of the unique storytelling choices from writer/director Christopher McQuarrie that made it a global hit.
