The Interpreter

CrimeMysteryThriller128 min

After U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome overhears a plot to kill a visiting African leader inside the United Nations in New York, the threat quickly turns inward as investigators begin scrutinizing her own past. Nicole Kidman is Silvia, a translator caught between diplomacy, surveillance, and suspicion, while Sean Penn's Secret Service agent Tobin Keller is assigned to determine whether she's a witness in danger or part of the conspiracy. Catherine Keener appears as Keller's colleague in Sydney Pollack's political thriller, which keeps the tension close to security checkpoints, back-channel conversations, and the uneasy distance between international power and personal motive.
