Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher

The Strand

Available for over a year

A film special today on the Strand. Tom Cruise is Jack Reacher. The film is based on the series of the internationally mega-selling crime fiction by the British writer Lee Child which features the muscular adventures of his Reacher - a taciturn 6 foot five, ex-US army military police officer who is happy most of the time to let his fists do the talking. And we talk to Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) and leading man Hugh Jackman about the film version of the hugely successful musical Les Miserables.
