The Day of the Jackal

Two disgruntled French military veterans, driven by a thirst for revenge, team up with a deadly assassin known as "The Jackal" to exact vengeance on President Charles de Gaulle, who they hold responsible for France's decision to grant independence to Algeria.

In 1960s France, the remnants of the French Foreign Legion, seeking revenge against President De Gaulle, orchestrate multiple assassination attempts. To ensure their success, they enlist The Jackal, a skilled hitman, for a hefty sum of half a million dollars. As the Jackal meticulously prepares for the mission, the French police struggle to track his trail, leading to a thrilling cat-and-mouse game.
