Thats one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do you arm the other eleven?" The opening credits follow the life of a bullet: from a munitions assembly line in Odessa, Ukraine, to various arms dealing intermediaries, and ending in the head of a small African boy.The rest of the movie is told in flashback, starting in the 1980s and ending in the completion of the opening scene.Through voiceover, Yuri Orlov describes how he first became an arms dealer.

Yuri and his family came to United States from Ukraine when he was a young boy. They live in Little Odessa, a Russian community in Brighton Beach in New York City. His family pretends to be Jewish for favorable immigration conditions. His family owns a restaurant, which is useful, "because people are always going to have to eat." After Yuri sees a Russian Mafia boss kill his two would-be assassins, he decides to provide another necessity: guns.Before beginning his career in earnest, he approaches Simeon Weisz (Ian Holm), a seasoned arms dealer, at an arms convention with a business proposal. Weisz turns him down, dismissing him as an amateur. Yuri then partners up with his brother Vitaly (Jared Leto) and begins selling arms.
