El fiscal de Nova Orleans, Jim Garrison, va reobrir el cas de l'assassinat del president dels Estats Units John F. Kennedy i va presentar càrrecs contra algunes persones. Després d'entrevistar nombrosos testimonis de Dallas i persones relacionades amb els fets, va mantenir la tesi que el magnicidi va ser fruit d'una conspiració en què podrien haver intervingut l'FBI, la CIA i el mateix vicepresident Lindon B. Johnson.

Després de l'experiència esgarrifosa de veure com mataven a trets el seu marit durant una desfilada a Dallas, Jacqueline Kennedy passa uns dies en què aquell trauma impossible de pair es barreja amb la por que s'ha apoderat del seu entorn, les exigències de la seva vida pública, les friccions amb el nou president i el seu equip i, sobretot, l'angoixa de no saber quina és la millor manera de preservar el record del seu marit de cara a la posteritat. El funeral es converteix per a ella en el primer pas per preservar aquest record. Inspirant-se en el funeral d'un altre president assassinat, Abraham Lincoln, i superant l'oposició del seu entorn i el seu propi trauma, imposa la celebració d'un acte destinat a fer història.
