What happens

Jack Reacher is a 2012 American action thriller film written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, starring Tom Cruise and based on Lee Child's novel One Shot. Cruise portrays the title character; the supporting cast includes Rosamund Pike, Werner Herzog, Robert Duvall, David Oyelowo, Richard Jenkins, and Jai Courtney. The film's plot involves Jack Reacher, a former investigator for the U.S. Army, who is called upon to help investigate a mass shooting apparently perpetrated by a trained military sniper. The film entered production in October 2011, was filmed on location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was completed in January 2012. The musical score was composed by Joe Kraemer and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. The film's premiere screening in Pittsburgh was postponed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting; the movie was released in North America one week later on December 21, 2012, where it received generally positive reviews and was successful at the box office. Cruise later starred in a sequel: Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016), based on the 2013 novel Never Go Back. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
