The movie centers around the interview that Jackie (played by Natalie Portman) gives to journalist Theodore H. White (Billy Crudup) a week after the tragic event.
The film begins immediately after the assassination, as Jackie is seen covered in her husband's blood and brain matter while flying back to Washington, D.C., on Air Force One. The story then unfolds through flashbacks and Jackie's recollections during her interview.
Jackie is shown struggling with profound grief and trauma as she tries to deal with the loss of her husband while maintaining her composure for the public. She takes the audience through the planning of the funeral and the procession through Washington, D.C., with meticulous attention to detail. Throughout this process, she is also concerned about crafting a legacy for her husband.
Amidst her sorrow, Jackie seeks guidance from her trusted confidante, her brother-in-law Robert F. Kennedy (Peter Sarsgaard), and a Catholic priest (John Hurt) to find ways to honor her husband, secure his place in history, and preserve the Camelot myth. She also deals with endless press inquiries, conspiratorial rumors, and concerns about how her husband will be remembered.
The film explores Jackie's struggle with the public's expectations of her as the First Lady, her efforts to protect her young children from the horrors they witnessed, and her own conflicting emotions. It delves into her coping mechanisms, including her dependence on alcohol and prescription drugs to cope with her grief.
The movie also portrays Jackie's interactions with Lyndon B. Johnson (John Carroll Lynch), who becomes the President following JFK's assassination. She is seen asserting her desire to give her husband a grand funeral similar to Abraham Lincoln's, ensuring that her husband's memory will be preserved.
Ultimately, "Jackie" presents Jacqueline Kennedy as a complex, emotional, and resilient woman who, despite her personal loss, manages to secure her husband's place in history and shape her own legacy.
