There are 2 Jack Reacher movies starring Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher: “Jack Reacher” (2012) and “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” (2016).

Quick Scoop: How many Jack Reacher movies are there?

If you’re just here for the fast answer: the Jack Reacher movie franchise currently consists of two theatrical films with Tom Cruise in the lead.

  • “Jack Reacher” (2012)
  • “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” (2016)

A separate Reacher TV series (with Alan Ritchson) exists, but it’s not counted as a movie.

The two Jack Reacher movies

  • Jack Reacher (2012) – Adapted from the novel One Shot , this film introduces Reacher investigating a sniper attack and unraveling a deeper conspiracy.
  • Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) – Based on the book Never Go Back , Reacher returns to his old military unit, gets framed, and goes on the run to clear both his and a colleague’s names.

Both movies were produced by Paramount and released theatrically, with solid box office returns worldwide.

Movies vs. the Reacher TV series

A lot of current “latest news” and forum chatter about Jack Reacher focuses on the Amazon Prime Video series “Reacher” , which stars Alan Ritchson and adapts different novels from the book series. While people sometimes casually lump it in with the “Jack Reacher movies,” it is officially a television series, not a film franchise continuation.

So if your question is strictly “how many Jack Reacher movies are there?” and you mean full-length theatrical films: the count is still two.

Mini FAQ and forum-style notes

“Is there a new Jack Reacher movie coming?”
As of recent coverage, attention is on continuing seasons of the TV series rather than new Tom Cruise-led films.
