In the Line of Fire

In the Line of Fire

1993

In this triple-Oscar-nominated thriller, director Wolfgang Peterson sets in motion a deadly mind game: A twisted yet ingenious killer (John Malkovich) torments and teases a veteran Secret Service agent (Clint Eastwood) who's haunted by his failure years ago to save JFK. Unable to make the current president take the psycho's assassination threats seriously, the agent and his partner (Rene Russo) pursue him on their own, walking into a trap.

An assassin on the loose. A president in danger. Only one man stands between them...
