The film begins with Yuri Orlov, an American gunrunner of Ukrainian origin, (Nicolas Cage) standing in a sea of spent shell casings. The opening credits are shown from the perspective of one round of ammunition, being manufactured in a factory in Odessa, Ukraine, then packaged, shipped to Africa, where it is loaded and ultimately impacts an African child soldier. The rest of the movie is told in flashback, starting in 1982 and ending in the completion of the opening scene.Through voice-over, Orlov describes the beginnings of his career. After he sees a Russian mobster kill two would-be assassins in a restaurant, and sees the restaurant's purpose was to fulfill a necessity for food, he decides to fulfill a necessity by providing firearms. He partners up with his brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto). Yuri's first break comes during the 1982 Lebanon War, when he sells guns to all sides of the conflict.
As his business grows, Yuri (through voiceover) tells of his first incident with Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawke), an Interpol agent who cannot be bought with money. Yuri avoids arrest when he changes his boat's name from the Kristol to the Kono and confuses Valentine.
During a business deal with a Colombian drug lord, Yuri is paid with six kilograms of cocaine instead of cash. The contact is unable to pay him anything else and Yuri, who is shot in the process, is forced to accept it, but the drug lord tells Yuri of an upcoming drug raid which will drastically increase the value of that cocaine, netting Yuri a profit multiple times what he would have made with a cash payment. Vitaly and he both keep one kilogram to get high, but Vitaly becomes addicted, and Yuri checks him into a rehabilitation center. From that point onward, he conducts his arms business alone. Soon after this incident, he courts and marries model Ava Fontaine (Bridget Moynahan) and they have a child named Nikolai.
Yuri gets his second break after the Soviet Union dissolves. Yuri rushes to Ukraine after watching Mikhail Gorbachev's Christmas Day 1991 speech of resignation on television. He begins buying tanks and other weapons to expand his operations.
One day, Valentine reveals to Ava that Yuri is an arms dealer. Ava convinces him to stop dealing and he complies for a short while, but it is very hard for him to make the same kind of money as he did as an arms dealer. He is lured back in when his old friend, the dictator of Liberia, Andre Baptiste, approaches him and offers him more money. Yuri brings Vitaly along due to nervousness. During the transaction, Vitaly sees a group of villagers kill a woman and her child with machetes and tries to convince Yuri to stop the transaction. When Yuri refuses, Vitaly takes a grenade and blows up half the gun shipment. A few nearby soldiers immediately kill Vitaly.
Back at home, Valentine follows Ava as she finds Yuri's security container. She and Yuri's parents disown him, and Valentine arrests him. However, Yuri tells Valentine that his superiors at Interpol will not allow him to be arrested, as he has positioned himself as a "necessary evil", who is able to distribute weapons when first-world governments do not want to become directly involved. This proves to be true, and Yuri is released when a United States Marine Corps officer speaks to Valentine. A brief postscript notes that while private arms dealers do a lot of business; the five largest arms exporters – the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China – are also the five permanent members of the United Nations Security.
