From Academy Award winner Sydney Pollack, the director behind some of the most compelling and provocative thrillers of the last two decades (Three Days of The Condor, Absence of Malice, The Firm), comes a fresh take on contemporary suspense: an intricate, knife's-edge drama that unfolds against our 21st Century world of international terror and inside the United Nations' hidden corridors of power. Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn star in The Interpreter, the story of two opposite people who unexpectedly collide within a maze of mounting paranoia, personal secrets and explosive global events.
Shot on location in Manhattan and Southern Africa, The Interpreter is the first motion picture in history to receive inside access to the United Nations' headquarters (which is officially international territory) in New York.
The escalating events begin when African-born U.N. translator Silvia Broome (Kidman) alleges that she has overheard a death threat against an African head of state, spoken in a rare dialect few people other than Silvia can understand.
