It is the early 60s in France. The
remaining survivors of the aborted French Foreign Legion have made
repeated attempts to kill DeGaulle. The result is that he is the most
closely guarded man in the world. As a desperate act, they hire The
Jackal, the code name for a hired killer who agrees to kill French
President De Gaulle for half a million dollars. We watch his
preparations which are so thorough we wonder how he could possibly fail
even as we watch the French police attempt to pick up his trail. The
situation is historically accurate. There were many such attempts and
the film closely follows the plot of the book.
