Tom Cruise Is Mysterious Jack Reacher

On a mundane morning in an average town, five people are randomly shot dead while going about their everyday lives. All of the evidence points to one man: A sharp-shooting assassin who also is ex-military, a trained sniper. He is swiftly apprehended and dragged into custody.

Despite a marathon interrogation, the prisoner offers up nothing except a cryptic demand he scribbles on a notepad in lieu of a confession: ''Get Jack Reacher.''

Who is this Reacher? Not an easy question to answer - in fact, it's hard to prove that he even exists. Little matter - Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) is already on his way. Ex-Army, erstwhile military investigator, the enigmatic Reacher prefers to avoid the company of others - but, he knows this shooter. A news report about the killings compels him to come out of the shadows and share with the authorities what he knows about this prisoner, which is plenty. Based on lurid past history, Reacher believes they've got the right man.

From The New York Times bestselling series author Lee Child comes one of the most compelling heroes to step from novel to screen - ex-military investigator ''Jack Reacher.''
