狙击职业杀手

一直以来，联邦调查局副局长卡特（西德尼·波蒂埃 Sidney Poitier 饰）和俄国情报官瓦伦蒂娜（戴安·维诺拉 Diane Venora 饰）都在追击一名十分危险的犯人，他手持高杀伤性化学武器，精通电脑和变装术，个性狡猾又残忍，是威胁到世界和平的重大隐患，他甚至连名字都没有，人送代号“豺狼”（布鲁斯·威利斯 Bruce Willis 饰）。 　　在屡战屡败的不利立场之下，卡特和瓦伦蒂娜决定动用手上的“秘密武器”——一位曾经和豺狼交过手的被囚杀手莫昆（理查·基尔 Richard Gere 饰）。在经验丰富的莫昆的帮助下，卡特一行人能否顺利捕获豺狼呢？对于莫昆来说，前路上又有怎样的危险在等待着他呢？In Moscow, the FBI and their Russian counterpart, the MVD, are working on a joint mission to apprehend Russian mobster Ghazzi Murad specifically for the murder of Mayor Nikolai Semankho. During the arrest, they are forced to kill Ghazzi. Ghazzi's brother, Terek Murad, also a mobster, begins his own form of deadly retribution against the MVD for Ghazzi's death. But the FBI and MVD also get wind that Terek has hired an assassin by the code name Jackal to carry out a hit on a high profile but unknown American target for the Americans sticking their nose in Russian affairs. Intelligence points to that target being Donald Brown, the Director of the FBI. The Jackal is known only by name and reputation but no one in authority knows who he is, what he looks like or if he even really exists. They learn of only one person alive who they know has had ties to the Jackal: former Basque separatist Isabella Zanconia, whose whereabouts are unknown. As such, the FBI and MVD decide to turn to the one person they know who has had ties to Isabella: Declan Mulqueen, who is currently in an American prison serving twenty-five years for his deadly IRA activities. To their surprise, Declan purports to have met the Jackal. Although they are unable to meet all his demands including not being able to guarantee his release and return back to Ireland after all is said and done, Declan agrees to help them on the promise that they will do their best to meet that request. What happens is largely a function of Declan's relationship with his two handlers, the MVD's Major Valentina Koslova and FBI Deputy Director Carter Preston, the latter in particular who does not fully trust Declan. It is also affected by the nature of the history between Declan, Isabella and the Jackal. Through it all, Declan may, if given the opportunity, do what Carter believes he will do, which is run without keeping to his side of the bargain.
