Former US Army MP Jack Reacher, normally non-contactable, is called upon to aid in a homicide investigation involving a trained military sniper believed to be responsible for a mass shooting.

The film's premiere screening in Pittsburgh was postponed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting; the movie was released in North America one week later on December 21, 2012, where it received generally positive reviews and was successful at the box office. A sequel was developed with Cruise titled Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, based on the 2013 novel Never Go Back, which was released on October 21, 2016.
