About this product

Product Information

Based on Frederick Forsyth's best-selling novel of political intrigue, The Day of the Jackal, tells of a cold, suave British assassin hired by the French OAS to kill General Charles de Gaulle. Nameless and faceless, the killer, known by the code name of Jackal (Edward Fox), relentlessly moves toward the date with death that would rock the world. The tension mounts as the methodical preparations of the Jackal are paralleled with the efforts of the police to uncover the plot, which gives the story non-stop, edge-of-your-seat suspense.

  • Great viewing.

    I love this movie. I think that it is one of Edward Fox’s earliest movies. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. I found myself wanting to get away with his plan, yet you know, because of history, that it can’t happen. I also loved the ending. Altogether, a very well executed film.

  • I'm Glad I Own This!

    I'd almost forgotten about this classic! I have not watched this yet, so aside from remembering the main story line and the principal actor, I'm really not qualified to say anything at this time!

  • The OAS war against DeGaulle was deadly!

    Interesting but forgotten period in France's post-colonial history. Dec Gaulle only just survived.
