As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?"

Terry George, Michael Mann and 'Peter Berg (I)' all came close to directing at one point or another.

Evelyn Salt:
What is your name?


Vassily Orlov:
My name is Vassily Orlov. Today, a Russian agent will travel to New York city to kill the President. This agent is KA-12.


Evelyn Salt:
The KA program is a myth.


Vassily Orlov:
Don't you want to know the name?


Evelyn Salt:
You're good. You can tell the rest of your story to one of my colleagues.


Vassily Orlov:
Salt.


Evelyn Salt:
Yes?


Vassily Orlov:
The name of the agent is Evelyn Salt.


Evelyn Salt:
My name is Evelyn Salt.


Vassily Orlov:
Then you are a Russian spy.
