In the Line of Fire / In the Line of Fire - Die zweite Chance [DVD9] (1993)

Storyline: Frank Horrigan is a secret service agent who keeps thinking back to November 22, 1963, when, as a hand-picked agent by President Kennedy, he became one of the few agents to have lost a President to an assassin when Kennedy died. Now, former CIA assassin Mitch Leary is stalking the current President, who is running for re-election. Mitch has spent long hours studying Horrigan, and he taunts Horrigan, telling him of his plans to kill the President. Leary plans to kill the president because Leary feels betrayed by the government – Leary was removed from the CIA, and the CIA is now trying to have him killed. After talking to Leary, Horrigan makes sure he is assigned to presidential protection duty, working with fellow secret service agent Lilly Raines. Horrigan has no intention of failing his President this time around, and he's more than willing to take a bullet. White House Chief of Staff Harry Sargent refuses to alter the President's itinerary…

Beschreibung: Secret Service-Agent Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) hat ein Trauma: Dallas. Bis heute fühlt sich Frank, als Ex-Sicherheitsbeamter J.F.Kennedys, mitschuldig an dessen gewaltsamen Tod. Um so heftiger reagiert Frank, als ihm ein Attentäter telefonisch die Ermordung des gegenwertigen Präsidenten ankündigt. Das Weiße Haus tut Frank als Wichtigtuer ab. Doch Franks schlimmste Befürchtungen werden wahr: Der Attentäter (John Malkovich) ist eine menschliche Killer-Maschine, ausgerüstet mit modernster Technik und kaltblütiger Skrupellosigkeit…
