The Assignment (1997) - Imprint Collection #611 - Limited Edition Blu-ray

Worldwide first on Blu-ray!

For 20 years, Carlos the Jackal led a reign of terror so brutal, his capture was an international obsession. Now, a global manhunt is closing in.

International authorities have spent years hunting down notorious terrorist Carlos the Jackal, and have finally captured him… or so they think. The prisoner turns out to be US naval officer Annibal Ramirez, a dead ringer for the Jackal. Stunned by the resemblance, the CIA convinces Ramirez to pose as the terrorist in the hopes of flushing him out and ending his reign. But when you become a perfect copy of a killer, how can you avoid losing your humanity?

Inspired by the real-life hunt for the Jackal, this gripping spy movie from The Art of War filmmaker Christian Duguay stars Aidan Quinn (Legends of the Fall), Donald Sutherland (Don’t Look Now) and Academy Award-winner Sir Ben Kingsley (Schindler’s List).

1500 copies only.
