Salt

Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is tortured in a North Korean prison on suspicion of being an American spy. Released as part of a prisoner exchange, she is met by CIA colleague Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber). When she wonders why she has been freed (as it is against CIA policy), Winter informs her that the dogged persistence of her boyfriend, renowned arachnologist Michael Krause (August Diehl), forced the agency to act. Salt admits to Michael that she is a spy and warns him that he "is not safe with her." He, however, tells her he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Two years later, on Salt's wedding anniversary, a Russian defector named Oleg Vasilyevich Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski) arrives at the CIA. Salt interrogates him, with Winter and CIA counterintelligence agent Peabody (Chiwetel Ejiofor) observing. Orlov tells her about "Day X", a Russian plot to destroy the United States by using English-speaking sleeper agents trained from childhood. Agent "KA-12" will assassinate Russian President Boris Matveyev (Olek Krupa) at the funeral of the American vice president. Orlov reveals that KA-12 is named "Evelyn Salt". Salt insists on calling her husband to warn him, but he does not answer. Winter reluctantly agrees when Peabody decides to detain Salt, but she escapes and makes her way back to her apartment. Finding signs that Michael has been kidnapped, Salt takes her weapons and one of Michael's spiders. After evading CIA pursuit, Salt travels to New York City and checks into an hotel, where she extracts venom from the spider. Salt makes her way to the church where the funeral is being held. Despite the tight security, she gets in and sets off a demolition charge during Matveyev's eulogy, causing Matveyev to fall through the floor to where Salt is waiting. A shot is heard. Peabody captures her, but she escapes. The media report that the Russian president is dead. On her way to the barge where Orlov is holed up with other KAs, Salt remembers, in a series of flashbacks, growing up in the Soviet Union, where her mentor Orlov trained her and other children to obey him absolutely. Orlov tests her loyalty to him by having Michael killed in front of her. She seemingly shows no emotion. Satisfied, he then briefs her on the next part of her mission: she is to rendezvous with another sleeper agent, who will help her eliminate the President of the United States. Enraged at the death of Michael and wanting to stop the plot, Salt then kills Orlov and all the other agents there...
