Jack Reacher Movies: Release Order
The Jack Reacher film series consists of two action thrillers starring Tom Cruise as the titular former Army Military Police investigator. Based on Lee Child's bestselling novels, the films follow the drifter and problem-solver as he's drawn into complex criminal conspiracies.
The first film adapts the ninth novel One Shot, while the sequel is based on Never Go Back. Both films tell self-contained stories with Reacher arriving in a new location and unraveling dangerous conspiracies. Author Lee Child later stated there would be no more films with Cruise in the role, and the character was subsequently rebooted as a television series on Amazon Prime Video with Alan Ritchson.

Jack Reacher
One morning in an ordinary town, five people are shot dead in a seemingly random attack. All evidence points to a single suspect: an ex-military sniper who is quickly brought into custody. The interrogation yields one written note: 'Get Jack Reacher!'. Reacher, an enigmatic ex-Army investigator, believes the authorities have the right man but agrees to help the sniper's defense attorney. However, the more Reacher delves into the case, the less clear-cut it appears. So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
Years after resigning command of an elite military police unit, the nomadic, righter-of-wrongs Reacher is drawn back into the life he left behind when his friend and successor, Major Susan Turner is framed for espionage. Reacher will stop at nothing to prove her innocence and to expose the real perpetrators behind the killings of his former soldiers.
