The Package (1989)

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.

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:



Pistols

Makarov PM

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).
