The Package is a 1989 thriller starring Gene Hackman as US Army sergeant who loses the prisoner he was transporting from Germany to the United States. He then discovers that the prisoner is actually part of a conspiracy involving military officers in both the American and Russian military. The film was directed by Andrew Davis (who would later direct Tommy Lee Jones in Under Siege and The Fugitive.)
The following guns were used in the film The Package:
