An assassin on the loose. A president in danger. Only one man stands between them…
Directed by Wolfgang Petersen
Produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, Apple / Rose
A taut political thriller built on paranoia and personal redemption, where a haunted agent must confront both an assassin and his own unresolved trauma.

Thirty years later, a man calling himself "Booth" threatens the life of the current President, forcing Horrigan to come back to protection detail to confront the ghosts from his past.
