Synopsis:
He`s the world`s most wanted terrorist. A hit man without a conscience. A mercenary without a country. His skills are legendary. His exploits infamous. His name is Carlos The Jackal... and now the C.I.A. has a plan to capture him.

Carlos "The Jackal" is the most heinous terrorist the world has ever known. He has been sought by the governments of the United States and Israel for two decades, escaping each time they come close to capturing him.

When CIA master spy Jack Shaw (Donald Sutherland) and his Israeli counterpart, Amos (Ben Kingsley), discover that American naval officer Annibal Ramirez (Aiden Quinn) is a dead ringer for the terrorist, they devise a chilling plan to draw Carlos out of hiding, and into an elaborate trap.

But first, Annibal must `become` Carlos by ridding himself of love for humankind and learn to murder without hesitation.

In the ultimate call-to-arms for his country, he must become the perfect killing machine to put an end to the ruthless reign of "The Jackal"... but will his soul be the price?
