Rip-roaring, fictional account of the capture of Carlos "The Jackal", the world's most notorious and elusive terrorist. After two decades successfully evading two governments, Carlos is a legend in his own lifetime, but when CIA man Jack Shaw and his Israeli counterpart Amos discover that American naval officer Ramirez (Aidan Quinn) is a dead ringer for their quarry, the net begins to close in on him. But to draw Carlos out of his hiding place, Ramirez must first become as ruthless and cold-hearted as his prey. An excellent action thriller.
