"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit"



Sneak Peek director Kenneth Branagh's upcoming action feature "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit", based on the character 'Jack Ryan' created by author Tom Clancy. It is the fifth film in the "Jack Ryan" film series and a reboot departing from previous installments. Unlike previous films in the franchise, it is not an adaptation of a particular Clancy novel but instead an original story conceived by screenwriter Hossein Amini:


"...while working as a junior analyst for the CIA's covert intelligence office, 'Jack Ryan' inadvertently uncovers evidence of an imminent terrorist attack. With no intelligence to verify his discovery, Ryan is promoted to 'field agent' and sent to Moscow to continue his investigation, where he soon encounters 'Viktor Cherevin', an enigmatic businessman at the center of a plot to cripple the global economy. 


"As Ryan learns to navigate the world of intelligence, fend off assassins and address the potential breakdown of his marriage, he comes to the realization that it may already be too late to stop Cherevin from ushering in an economic catastrophe of unprecedented scale..."


Cast includes Chris Pine as 'Jack Ryan', Kevin Costner as 'William Harper', Kenneth Branagh as 'Viktor Cherevin', Keira Knightley as 'Cathy Ryan' and Colm Feore as 'Rob Behringer'.
