In the Line of Fire is a 1993 political thriller by director Wolfgang Petersen, starring Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, and Rene Russo.

Eastwood stars as a washed-up Secret Service agent best known for being the sole remaining member from the detail that failed to save President John F. Kennedy. Three decades after the greatest failure of his career, he's forced to match wits with Malkovich, who plays a chilling assassin.

Listen to Áine and Kevin take a shot at this engrossing thriller, which features a taut plot, an age gap relationship, a great villain with a surprisingly relatable point, and some depressing implications about the American workplace.
