The Package is a 1989 thriller starring Gene Hackman as a US Army Special Forces sergeant who loses the prisoner he was transporting from Germany to the United States. He then discovers that the prisoner travelled under a false name and is actually part of a conspiracy involving high ranking officers in both the American and Russian military during top secret nuclear arms treaty negotiations. The film was directed by Andrew Davis (who would later direct Tommy Lee Jones in Under Siege and The Fugitive.)
The following weapons were used in the film The Package:
Several conspirators use the Beretta 92F in the film. Thomas Boyette (Tommy Lee Jones) is seen using a suppressed Beretta in the climax of the film. Also using the Beretta are Karl Richards (Ron Dean) and the conspirator who identified himself as Det. Ralph Burns (Juan Ramírez).
The fake MP (Michael Skewes) driving the car at the end of the film pulls what appears to be a suppressed Makarov PM pistol. Strangely, the gunshot sounds unsuppressed when he fires the weapon (possibly because even a suppressed shot sounds loud inside a car).
Sergeant First Class Johnny Gallagher (Gene Hackman) carries an M1911A1 as his sidearm. He is seen with it holstered in Germany and pulls it in both the garage and diner shootouts. General Carlson (Joe Greco) and his bodyguards draw their M1911's at the beginning of the film after they are ambushed.
One of the gunmen in the diner shootout uses a Smith & Wesson 659. The fake MP (Johnny Lee Davenport) left behind to guard Gallagher draws a S&W fitted with a suppressor.
The sniper rifle that Boyette (Tommy Lee Jones) uses in the assassination attempt at the end of the film is the Steyr AUG. It is fitted with the integral Swarovski 1.5x scope, and a suppressor. A duplicate Steyr AUG is found in the office of the real Walter Hanke (Kevin Crowley).
The gunman who identified himself earlier as "Ralph Burns" (Juan Ramírez) who flees the diner grabs an Ithaca 37 stakeout from behind the counter of a liquor store.
Co-conspirators disguised as West Berlin police are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns as they apprehend the hikers intercepted by Gallagher and his men in Germany.
