In the Line of Fire	comment	In the Line of Fire is a 1993 Psychological Thriller directed by Wolfgang Petersen about a Secret Service agent named Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) trying to stop potential assassin Mitch Leary (John Malkovich), who has contacted him to give him advance notice that he plans to kill the President of the United States. So begins a cat-and-mouse chase as the assassin drops hints to taunt and torment Horrigan, whose history (on detail at the time of the Kennedy assassination) he knows perfectly well. The advertising for the movie made explicit reference to the fact that it was released 30 years after the Kennedy assassination. Also stars Rene Russo as Horrigan's partner.Notable for being Eastwood's last role in which he wasn't also directing (until 2012's Trouble with the Curve). Also notable for the extensive consultation done with the Secret Service in order to achieve realism — this had not been done before in Hollywood.

Even Leary, about as paranoid and anti-government as you can get, never suggests that he thinks Oswald wasn't a lone gunman.

In the Line of Fire / int_3322dd48	type	Hollywood Law
In the Line of Fire / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: Despite the Secret Service consultation, some errors show up: Lilly's gown during the party scene would be inappropriate for a female Secret Service agent, as it would prevent her from performing her duties should there be an attempt on the President's life. In those situations female agents instead wear dress pants and more practical shoes. (With the gown, there is also the problem of where to hide the service weapon.) In the scene where the Secret Service counter-snipers attempt to get a sight on Leary, it is reported that it is too dark for them to see inside the elevator. In modern times (and certainly in the year the movie was released in and is set), Secret Service counter-snipers are equipped with night-vision goggles to allow them to see targets through darkness. Also, in the climatic scene where Leary is getting ready to shoot the President and Horrigan has figured out he's in the room, there's a drawn-out scene where Horrigan is trying to figure out what table he's at in order to apprehend him before he shoots the President. In reality, a scenario where there's a gunman in the area but their identity and location are unknown is something the Secret Service trains for. Upon entering the room, Horrigan would have yelled out the code phrase for this scenario, whereupon all the agents would have swarmed the President to shield him with their bodies while the rest ordered everyone to hit the floor. In the same scene, after Leary assembles and loads his gun, he holds it in his hand with a napkin draped over it for concealment, then stands up to shake the President's hand. No one is allowed to approach or be near the President with their hands concealed. Period. As soon as he stood up, the Secret Service would have had their eyes on him. Seeing that he had his hands concealed would have meant at least two agents would be immediately in his face, hands on their pistols and ordering him to show his hands right now. There's also no way Watts would have dismissed Frank telling him point blank that the very assassin who's been stalking the President for weeks is present, no matter what personal or professional animosity there was.

In 2003, they were moved to the Department of Homeland Security, but still do a lot of anti-counterfeiting work.

Although in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it, you'll notice in a picture of the dead friend, he was carrying a gun under his jacket but it is still firmly in its' holster.

In The Dead Pool Dirty Harry Callahan pursues a killer who also makes miniature cars and used them as improvised bombs. In the opening scene where Frank is undercover as a counterfeiter he uses a Smith and Wesson 44 Magnum, Dirty Harry's iconic handgun. References are done to three of the four successful presidential assassinations: Frank served on John F. Kennedy's protective detail in Dallas Leary calls himself "Booth" on the phone, in reference to John Wilkes Booth, Abraham Lincoln's assassin. Frank gazes at the Lincoln Monument and wistfully declares, "I wish I could have been there for you, pal." Lincoln signed the legislation bringing the Secret Service into existence the very day he was assassinated (though the agency didn't take on protective duties until 1902). Leary tries to shoot the president with a gun concealed in a handkerchief, which was how Leon Czolgosz assassinated William McKinley. Two references are made to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, JFK's younger brother: in Leary's apartment, Frank finds a quote from the younger Kennedy's assassin Sirhan Sirhan on a piece of paper. And following Leary's failed assassination attempt, the president is rushed out of the hotel through the kitchen. Sirhan Sirhan shot RFK in the kitchen of Los Angeles's Ambassador Hotel. After Agent Rains turns down a kiss from Agent Horrigan as he's playing the piano in the hotel lounge, he starts playing the most famous song from Casablanca, "As Time Goes By" (aka "Play It Again, Sam").

In an interesting twist, in real life, the ATF had the actual (fully functional) weapon destroyed, because it violated the Undetectable Firearms Act (this law is why the modern Liberator pistol contains a 3 ounce chunk of metal that serves no actual function). The prop one was left intact, and IIRC is on display.
