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.
