Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is directed by Ed Zwick and picks up where the first film left off. The story follows Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise), a former military policeman, as he faces off against a ruthless military officer, Major Issot (Coburn), who is seeking revenge against Reacher. Along the way, Reacher teams up with a young military officer, Candice Black (Cobie Smulders), to take down Major Issot and his henchmen.
