Description
Director Sidney Pollack's diverse career sees him returning to familiar
ground with The Interpreter, Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn starring in a film
riddled with subterfuge, recriminations, and deadly secrets.
Kidman plays Silvia Broome, an interpreter who works at the UN in New York City.
One night, while collecting a bag she has left behind in the building, Silvia
overhears a whispered conversation in which an assassination attempt on
redoubtable African leader Zuwanie (Earl Cameron), is planned during his future
visit to the UN. Secret service agent Tobin Keller (Penn) is assigned to provide
security for Zuwanie on the forthcoming trip, and conducts an investigation when
Silvia explains what she has heard. He quickly discovers that Silvia has a
lengthy, troubled past as a citizen from the same country as Zuwanie, and
immediately begins to doubt her story...
This is the first film to be shot inside the United Nations Headquarters.
Locations include the General Assembly and the Security Council, as well as
corridors and hallways of the complex. The cast and crew filmed on weekends in
order not to disrupt the working week of the Organization.
