The unknown male is apparently meeting with Russian mafia members who are interested in a nuclear bomb that's in his possession. Jackie decides to follow the unknown male to a remote lodge in the Crimean mountains, and informs the CIA of his location.

Natasha and the unknown male are also romantically involved. During the chase in Yalta, Jackie discovers that Natasha is working with an unknown male partner, who actually called in the Strike Force to prevent Natasha from being followed. Luckily for the CIA, Jackie spots Natasha being driven away and he discreetly follows her. However, the CIA operation almost falls apart when the Ukrainian Strike Force arrest Natasha. Jackie arrives in Ukraine and the CIA, partnered with local Security Service, take over the task of following Natasha. One of the tasks the CIA gives him is simple enough: watch a woman named Natasha while on a plane from Hong Kong to Crimea (Ukraine) and record her movements. Whilst working for the CIA, Jackie ( Jackie Chan) is assigned to follow leads of a nuclear smuggling case. The North American version also dubbed all the non-English dialogue in Cantonese, Russian and Ukrainian into English. As is typical with Chan's pictures, the US version does not feature the theme song. To advertise First Strike, Jackie recorded the song 怎麼會 Zenme Hui and also made a music video for it.

The original Hong Kong version was filmed in four languages: Cantonese, English, Russian, and Ukrainian. The film was released in Hong Kong on 10 February 1996. Filming took place from August to November 1995. Chinatown, Brisbane in Fortitude Valley and Underwater World on the Sunshine Coast were also used. The film was shot partially in Hong Kong, Crimea ( Ukraine), Moscow ( Russia) and Brisbane in Queensland, ( Australia). Jackie realizes that things are not as simple as they appear and soon finds himself a pawn of an organization posing as Russian intelligence. Chan reprises his role as 'Kevin' Chan Ka-Kui (named 'Jackie' in international releases), a Hong Kong police officer who works for the CIA to track down and arrest an illegal weapons dealer.

It is the fourth installment of the Police Story series. First Strike ( Chinese: 警察故事4之簡單任務), also known as Police Story 4: First Strike or Jackie Chan's First Strike, is a 1996 Hong Kong action comedy film directed and co-written by Stanley Tong, and starring Jackie Chan, Jackson Lou, Annie Wu, Bill Tung, Yuri Petrov, and Nonna Grishayeva.
