Chris Pine and Kenneth Branagh Posters for 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit'



We've seen Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit posters featuring Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley that hint at the multiple agendas of their characters, and now we have two more focusing on Kenneth Branagh and Chris Pine. Branagh, who plays the villain and also directs, is labeled "Capitalist. Terrorist. Patriot.", while Pine is a "Recruit. Agent. Target.". Obviously these characters are more than they appear, but perhaps it's more accurate to say nobody is quite so easily defined.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit opens January 17th.

PLOT: Based on the character created by bestselling author Tom Clancy, “Jack Ryan” is a global action thriller set in the present day.  This original story follow a young Jack (Chris Pine) as he uncovers a financial terrorist plot.

The story follows him from 9/11, through his tour of duty in Afghanistan, which scarred him forever, and into his early days in the Financial Intelligence Unit of the modern CIA where he becomes an analyst, under the guardianship of his handler, Harper (Kevin Costner).  When Ryan believes he’s uncovered a Russian plot to collapse the United States economy, he goes from being an analyst to becoming a spy and must fight to save his own life and those of countless others, while also trying to protect the thing that’s more important to him than anything, his relationship with his fiancĂ©e Cathy (Keira Knightley).
