“A Secret Service agent is taunted by calls from a would-be killer who has detailed information about the agent – including the fact that he failed to save President John F. Kennedy from assassination. The caller is revealed as an ex-CIA assassin, and the agent, who is investigating a threat to the current president, is determined not to let history repeat itself.”
In the Line Of Fire was directed by Wolfgang Petersen. It was written by Jeff Maguire. It stars Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, Rene Russo, Dylan McDermott, Gregory Alan Williams, Gary Cole, and the late John Mahoney.
