The day of the jackal [videorecording] / Universal ; Fred Zinnemann's film ; a John Woolf production ; directed by Fred Zinnemann ; produced by John Woolf ; screenplay Kenneth Ross.
Story of a cold, suave British assassin hired by the French OAS to kill General Charles de Gaulle. Nameless and faceless, the killer, known by the code name of Jackal, relentlessly moves toward the date with death that would rock the world. The tension mounts as the methodical preparations of the Jackal are paralleled with the efforts of the police to uncover the plot, which gives the story non-stop, edge-of-your-seat suspense.
