The Specialist is a 1994 American action film from Warner Bros. Pictures. It is directed by Luis Llosa, produced by Jerry Weintraub, and written by Alexandra Seros. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, James Woods, Eric Roberts, and Rod Steiger. In 1984, explosives experts working for the CIA, Captain Ray Quick and Colonel Ned Trent, are on a mission to blow up a car transporting a South American drug dealer. But when the dealer's car appears, a little girl is inside. Ray insists they abort the mission but Ned intends to see it through and allows the explosion to happen. Angered by the... girl's wrongful death, Ray beats Ned up savagely and their partnership ends. Years later, in Miami, Ray is now available for hire as a freelance hit man. Desperate people contact him via the Internet and he only takes the cases that interest him. Ray specializes in "shaping" his explosions, building and planting bombs that blow up only the intended target, leaving innocent bystanders unharmed. He answers ads placed by May Munro and speaks to her often to decide if he should take the job or not.
