Based on Frederick Forsyth's novel of the same name and the 1973 Universal Pictures film adaptation of the same name, The Jackal (Eddie Redmayne) is an unrivalled, elusive lone killer who makes his living carrying out high-paying assassinations. Nuria (Úrsula Corberó), who is at the centre of The Jackal's personal life, knows nothing of his identity. After his latest killing, The Jackal meets his match in tenacious British intelligence agent Bianca (Lashana Lynch). Bianca sets out to hunt The Jackal across Europe, leading to a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase that leaves a trail of destruction in its wake.
