The Day of the Jackal is a political thriller film directed by Fred Zinnemann and based on Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel. The film stars Edward Fox as the Jackal, with Michael Lonsdale ably supported by Derek Jacobi, Terence Alexander, Michel Auclair, Alan Badel, and Donald Sinden. The musical score was composed by Georges Delerue.

An underground French paramilitary group is intent on eliminating President Charles de Gaulle but when numerous attempts on his life fail, they resort to hiring the infamous hit man known as ‘The Jackal’.  As the enigmatic assassin prepares to shoot de Gaulle, he takes out any problematic people along the way. Meanwhile, Lebel, a savvy Parisian police detective, begins to solve the mystery of the killer's identity.

"The Jackal spent 71 days, 56 minutes thinking a bullet into the brain of de Gaulle."
