JACKIE is a searing and intimate portrait of one of the most important and tragic moments in American history, seen through the eyes of the iconic First Lady, then Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Natalie Portman). JACKIE places us in her world during the days immediately following her husband’s assassination. Known for her extraordinary dignity and poise, here we see a psychological portrait of the First Lady as she struggles to maintain her husband’s legacy 

and the world of “Camelot” that they created and loved so well. 

Jacqueline Kennedy was just 34 when her husband was elected President of the 

United States. Elegant, stylish, and inscrutable, she instantly became a global icon, one of the most famous women in the world, her taste in fashion, décor and the arts, widely admired. 

Then, on November 22, 1963, while on a campaign trip to Dallas, John F. Kennedy is assassinated – Jackie’s pink suit is showered in her husband’s blood. As she boards Air Force One back to Washington, Jackie’s world – including her faith – is completely shattered. Traumatized and reeling with grief, over the course of the next week she must confront the unimaginable: consoling their two young children, vacating the home she painstakingly restored, and planning her husband’s funeral. Jackie quickly realizes that the next seven days will determine how history will define her husband’s legacy – and how she herself will be 

remembered.
