Storyline — The Assignment (1997)
Jack Shaw (DONALD SUTHERLAND) has experienced the terror first-hand. He's a top CIA agent who's tracked international killer-for-hire Carlos "The Jackal" Sanchez for over twenty years and barely survived Carlos' devastating bombing of a Parisian cafe. Now, he finally gets a break when he discovers Carlos' dead ringer: American naval officer and dedicated family man Annibal Ramirez (AIDAN QUINN).

Frequently asked questions
How many English subtitles are there for The Assignment?
SubDL has 6 English subtitles for The Assignment, contributed by 6 different members of the community. Each one is a separate file timed to a particular video release, so pick the entry whose release name is closest to your copy.
Which English subtitle should I pick for The Assignment?
Match the release name to your video file. The English files here cover releases such as The.Assignment.1997.1080p.WEBRip.x264-RARBG, The.Assignment.1997.720p.WEBRip.x264.AAC-YTS.MX, The.Assignment.1997.DVDRip.XviD.AC3.CD1-TxxZ. If none matches exactly, choose the one with the same source (WEB-DL, BluRay, HDTV) and resolution — those usually share the same timing.
How do I add English subtitles to The Assignment?
Download the .srt and put it next to the video file with the same name, and most players load it automatically. In VLC use Subtitle - Add Subtitle File, in Plex and Jellyfin upload it from the item's subtitle menu, and in Stremio pick it from the subtitle button during playback.
My English subtitle for The Assignment is out of sync — how do I fix it?
A constant offset means the subtitle was timed to a different release: shift it with G and H in VLC, or J and K in MPV, until the first line matches. If the drift grows through the film, the frame rate differs and a file from the same release group is the better fix.
Are hearing-impaired (SDH) English subtitles available for The Assignment?
Yes. Some of the English files here are marked HI (1 of 6), which means they also transcribe sound effects and identify who is speaking. The label shows in the list, so you can choose between an SDH file and a plain dialogue one.
Do I need an account to download English subtitles?
No. Searching and downloading are free and need no account, and there is no daily download limit on ordinary use. An account is only needed to upload subtitles, use the API, or subscribe to a Pro plan.
