In the Line of Fire

Dir. Wolfgang Petersen · United States of America · English

An assassin on the loose. A president in danger. Only one man stands between them…

What happens

Veteran Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan is a man haunted by his failure to save President Kennedy while serving protection detail in Dallas. Thirty years later, a man calling himself "Booth" threatens the life of the current President, forcing Horrigan to come back to protection detail to confront the ghosts from his past.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"The movie has a clear, simple thriller logic that's far more satisfying than the static variations-on-a-massacre construction of Eastwood's Dirty Harry pictures and spaghetti Westerns."

— Terrence Rafferty

"Director Wolfgang Petersen sends the story efficiently down its straight and narrow track, deftly engineering the battle of wills between two desperately committed men."

— Todd McCarthy
