Short description
Years after resigning command of an elite military police unit, the nomadic, righter-of-wrongs Reacher is drawn back into the life he left behind when his friend and successor, Major Susan Turner is framed for espionage. Reacher will stop at nothing to prove her innocence and to expose the real perpetrators behind the killings of his former soldiers.
What's left behind the scenes
- Edward Zwick was appointed director in May 2015, and the creation of a sequel was officially announced in August of the same year.
- Filming took place in the vicinity of Louisiana and New Orleans.
- Actress Cobie Smulders performed all the stunts herself.
- The number of deaths in the film: 12.
- The plot is based on the 18th book in the "Jack Reacher" series by American author Lee Child.
- Tom Cruise had previously worked with the film's director, Edward Zwick, in 2003 (the film "The Last Samurai").
- After the release of "Jack Reacher" (Christopher McQuarrie, 2012), the studio initially intended to adapt the 14th book in the Jack Reacher series, "61 Hours" (2010). However, author Lee Child admitted that the insurmountable difficulty was organizing a large snow-covered space in South Dakota. When the studio read the novel "Never Go Back" (2013), they decided to focus on this book because, according to Lee Child, "Samantha (played by Danika Yarosh) fits organically alongside Jack and Susan, the film's main characters." Child also added that if they ever decide to make a third film about Jack Reacher, the studio has already decided it will be based on the 11th book in the series, "Bad Luck and Trouble" (2007).
- Scenes set in Washington were filmed in a studio using chroma key technology or in New Orleans, Louisiana, which stood in for the US capital.
- This is the fourth film in which Tom Cruise plays a character named Jack. He had the same name in Ridley Scott's fantasy film 'Legend' (1985), Christopher McQuarrie's action film 'Jack Reacher' (2012), and Joseph Kosinski's science fiction action film 'Oblivion' (2013).
- Lee Child, the author of the novels on which both Jack Reacher films are based, played a cameo role in 'Jack Reacher 2: Never Go Back' as a TSA agent who notices that Jack, as played by Tom Cruise, does not resemble the person in the photo on the identification document presented when boarding a plane. The agent still lets the protagonist through.
- While Jack Reacher, as played by Tom Cruise, is on the run, police reports describe him as a 'white male, over forty.' Cruise was already over 50 during filming. In the books, Jack Reacher is 52 years old.
- The plot is based on the 18th book of the Jack Reacher series by American author Lee Child.
- Tom Cruise had previously worked with the film's director, Edward Zwick, in 2003 (the movie "The Last Samurai").

- Following the release of "Jack Reacher" (Christopher McQuarrie, 2012), the studio initially intended to adapt the 14th book in the Jack Reacher series, "61 Hours" (2010). However, author Lee Child admitted that the insurmountable difficulty was the need to organize a vast snow-covered landscape in South Dakota. When the studio read the novel "Never Go Back" (2013), they decided to settle on this book because, according to Lee Child, "Samantha (played by Danika Yarosh) fits naturally alongside Jack and Susan, the film's main characters." Child also added that if they ever decide to film a third Jack Reacher movie, the studio has already decided it will be the 11th book in the series, "Bad Luck and Trouble" (2007).

The agent notices that Jack, played by Tom Cruise, does not look like the photo on the identification provided during boarding, but lets the protagonist through anyway.
- While Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher is on the run, police reports describe him as a 'white male in his forties.' During filming, Cruise was already in his fifties. In the book, Jack Reacher is 52 years old.
