Synopsis:
Directed by Oscar® winner Sydney Pollack, whose classic thrillers
Three Days of the Condor, Absence of Malice and The Firm have set the
standard for the genre, The Interpreter stars Academy Award® winners
Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn in a suspenseful thriller of international
intrigue set inside the political corridors of the United Nations and
on the streets of New York. Kidman stars as African-born U.N. interpreter
Silvia Broome, who inadvertently overhears a death threat against an African
head of state scheduled to address the United Nation's General Assembly.
Realizing she's become a target of the assassins as well, Silvia's desperate
to thwart the plot...if only she can survive long enough to get someone
to believe her. Sean Penn is Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with
protecting the interpreter, who nonetheless suspects she may not be telling
the whole truth. Silvia and Tobin, by nature, see life from different
points of view: one, a U.N. interpreter, believes in the power and sanctity
of words; the other, a Secret Service agent, believes in reading people
based on their behavior, no matter what is said. In the right hallway,
at the right time, all it takes is a whisper to tip the balance of power.
