JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT is playing in theaters now.<\/p>\n

Based on the CIA analyst created by the late espionage master Tom Clancy, JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT is a blistering action thriller that follows Ryan (Chris Pine, \u201cStar Trek\u201d) from his quiet double-life as a veteran-turned-Wall Street executive to his all-out initiation as a hunted American agent on the trail of a massive terrorist plot in Moscow.<\/p>\n

Ryan appears to be just another New York executive to his friends and loved ones, but his enlistment into the CIA secretly goes back years.\u00a0 He was brought in as a brainy Ph.D. who crunches global data \u2013 but when Ryan ferrets out a meticulously planned scheme to collapse the U.S. economy and spark global chaos, he becomes the only man with the skills to stop it. Now, he\u2019s gone fully operational, thrust into a world of mounting suspicion, deception and deadly force. Caught between his tight-lipped handler Harper (Academy Award\u00ae-winner Kevin Costner), his in-the-dark fianc\u00e9e Cathy (Keira Knightley) and a brilliant Russian oligarch (Kenneth Branagh), Jack must confront a new reality where no one can seem to be trusted, yet the fate of millions rests on his finding the truth.\u00a0 With the urgency of a lit fuse, he\u2019s in a race to stay one step ahead of everyone around him.<\/p>\n

Produced by Mace Neufeld, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, David Barron and Mark Vahradian.\u00a0 Based on characters created by Tom Clancy.\u00a0 Written by Adam Cozad and David Koepp.\u00a0 Directed by Kenneth Branagh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
