Plot
A joint mission of the American FBI and the Russian MVD leads to the death of the younger brother of a Russian mobster. In retaliation, the mobster hires an enigmatic assassin known only by the pseudonym "The Jackal" (Bruce Willis) to carry out the killing of an unknown-to-the-viewer target. The Jackal's price is $70 million, with half paid up front and the other half payable upon completion of the job. If word of the operation gets out, the Jackal has the option whether or not to continue; either way the initial payment is his to keep. The Jackal advises the mobster to find a place to hide out until after the operation is complete.
Whilst he is hiding out the Russian MVD capture one of the mobster's henchman in Finland; during the interrogation he reveals information about the Jackal. This coupled with the documents recovered from the henchman's briefcase lead the FBI and MVD to assume the target for the retaliatory hit is FBI Director Donald Brown.
As the Jackal begins his preparations for the assassination, he obtains fakes ID's, purchases a Polish KPV from an on-line arms dealer and arranges it to be shipped to Montreal under one of his assumed names. The FBI learns of one person who can identify the Jackal. FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier) and Russian Police Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) turn to a former Irish Republican Army sniper named Declan Joseph Mulqueen (Richard Gere), who had a relationship with a Basque woman named Isabella Zanconia (Mathilda May), whom they believe can identify The Jackal. However, Mulqueen refuses to tell them the whereabouts of Zanconia, saying instead he will take them to her. The FBI declines the offer; as they are leaving he claims to have met the Jackal. The price of his help is his release from prison and a pardon so he can return to Ireland. The FBI cannot grant his request but Mulqueen settles for their best efforts to get him freed.
It becomes apparent that Mulqueen, Zanconia, and the Jackal have a history, but it isn't until Mulqueen reveals that the Jackal wounded Zanconia while she was pregnant with Mulqueen's child do Preston and Koslova realize why it's so personal.
The Jackal infiltrates Zanconia's house after she has been evacuated, then kills two FBI agents and mortally wounds Koslova. As she is dying the Jackal tells Koslova if she sees Mulqueen before her death to tell him, "You can't protect your women."
To mount the mini-gun into his van, The Jackal hires Ian Lamont (Jack Black) to make a base. When The Jackal arrives to pay and collect the mount, Lamont blackmails him to give him more money for the plans and designs. Lamont explains that whatever The Jackal is putting on the mount is big enough to be an anti-aircraft gun, so it must be a big job, so in turn asks for more money himself. The Jackal agrees to the new terms and asks for a quiet piece of land to test the weapon.
Once at the private testing ground, the audience gets to see exactly how The Jackal plans to aim and fire the weapon at his target, whilst remaining safe and unseen himself. It is revealed that The Jackal has mounted a video camera and cell phone to the gun's scope. He pulls out a thick clipboard, which when opened reveals a laptop computer with the gun and video cameras view. He gets out a pen and affixes to a console and moves it like a joystick, the gun immediately moves on its new remotely automated motorised mount. Lamont remarks about the size of the ammunition, and The Jackal replies that they are depleted uranium rounds that will spall and keep spalling once fired. Once The Jackal has finished...(and so on)
