Synopsis: A hit man who goes by the name of ‘Jackal' (Bruce Willis) is hired to kill a politician who is to make a speech from a podium in front of a hospital. Instead of staking out a sniper position on a nearby building, Jackal gets fancy. He flies to Quebec and purchases a giant Gatling gun (a swiveling machine gun with several barrels that can fire thousands of rounds a minute). Of course, as a foundation for the gun, he purchases a super strong metal alloy stand and a minivan, plus special expensive uranium bullets and a remote control computer device that enables him to use his ball-point pen as a joystick. He also sprays special poison on the door of the van in case anyone tries to get in. Finally, Jackal purchases a yacht so he can sail the Gatling gun into the United States undetected. Typical of the logic the authorities use to catch the Jackal are statements like: "There's a 3000 mile border between Canada and the US. The criminal could be anywhere! Hmm. Why don't we try checking the Chicago Yacht Club?" So they send 30 agents to the yacht club, and sure enough, there's the Jackal, and a gun battle ensues. Will the authorities catch Jackal before he commits murder?
