The Package
He's one man racing against time to stop the most explosive conspiracy in history.
A taut Cold War-era thriller about a soldier pursuing an escaped prisoner through Chicago, driven by conspiracy and time pressure rather than character depth.
Experienced Green Beret sergeant Johnny Gallagher is escorting a prisoner, Airborne Ranger Thomas Boyette, back to the US, but Boyette escapes and Gallagher must risk life and limb to catch him.
