Killer Elite is a 2011 action thriller starring Jason Statham as Danny Bryce, a former mercenary who discovers his mentor Hunter (Robert De Niro) has been held prisoner after he failed to complete a job. Bryce then is told that he must complete this job, which involves eliminating several SAS operatives involved in allegedly killing the sons of a wealthy Sheikh, or else Hunter will be killed. As Bryce attempts to complete the mission, he is pursued by Spike Logan (Clive Owen), an SAS operative tasked by a secret society to protect the targeted men. The film co-stars Yvonne Strahovski, Dominic Purcell, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Despite the similar name, this film is not a remake of the 1975 Sam Peckinpah film The Killer Elite, but instead is based on the 1991 novel "The Feather Men" by Sir Ranulph Fiennes (a former SAS operative and author who also is the cousin to the father of actors Ralph Fiennes and Joseph Fiennes).


The following weapons were used in the film Killer Elite (2011):


Handguns

Browning Hi-Power

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3
