About Jack Reacher

Jack Reacher follows ex MP drifter Reacher as he clears sniper and conspiracy cases with Helen and Turner. The 2012 original sets the range, the bus fight and the choice to keep moving. It ends with Reacher gone.

Never Go Back from 2016 pairs Reacher with Turner and a kid charge across bases. The TV series is a separate adaptation and is not part of this film list. Watch the 2012 film first, then the 2016 sequel, since drifter rules assume the sniper start. Cases stand alone per town, but drifter rules and bus fight beats grow with each film across the run.

Good to know

Release order matches story order, with the Turner run following the sniper case directly. Either film works alone for action, but Reacher trust and move on beats only land in order. The series retells the books with a new cast, so it sits apart in notes. Start at the 2012 film for the drifter rules.
