| This suspense thriller stars Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn and Catherine Kenner. 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 treat against an African head of state scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly. Realizing she�s become a target of the assassins as well, she tries desperately to get someone to believe her. Sean Penn is Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with protecting the interpreter, who suspects she may not be telling the whole truth. Silva 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.
