Reacher, still wanted for murder, disappears again. He then frees Helen, extracts a confession from Zec, and kills him. Reacher eventually tracks down Helen and Zec and engages in a fight with Zec's gang, killing all of them.

As Reacher gets closer to the truth, he ends up being framed for murder by Zec and Helen is kidnapped. He was owed money by the murdered construction company owner, and knew enough about Barr's history to set up the murder. The real killers are a gang of criminals led by Zec, a man who spent much of his life in a Soviet Gulag. When questioned by authorities, Barr remains silent, but writes a note telling them to 'Get Jack Reacher.' The story's plot begins when several people are randomly murdered in Pittsburgh by a sniper, and evidence at the scene points to James Barr, a former U.S. Reacher is extraordinarily gifted in practically every way - genius intellect, expert investigator, superb fighter - and he uses his gifts to help others. Cruise plays the titular character, a mysterious former military cop who is now essentially a drifter. The movie, while it didn't get much attention in the U.S., was actually a terrifically fun action film, one of the best to come out in the past several years. But what happened in the first Jack Reacher movie?

And due to the movie's low budget of $60 million, Jack Reacher became a big enough hit to spawn a sequel. But thanks to the international popularity of star Tom Cruise, the film brought in another $138 million overseas.

The film made just $80 million during its domestic run - not terrible by any means, but hardly the type of sum associated with an action franchise starter. The first film in the series, J ack Reacher, was released in 2012 to little fanfare. Perhaps the most surprising sequel coming out this year is the new film Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.
