The Interpreter (tt0373926) Silvia Broome (Nicole Kidman), who works as an interpreter at the United Nations, accidentally overhears a plot to assassinate an African head of state. When she reports it to the authorities, Tobin Keller (Sean Penn) from the American Secret Service is assigned to investigate the case. As Keller delves into the incident, he notices inconsistencies in Broome's story and starts to question her. Meanwhile, Broome realizes that she has become a target for the assassins. A race against time begins as she tries to prove her innocence, save her own life, and prevent a murder. One of the most notable aspects of the film is that it was the first movie to be granted permission to shoot inside the historic United Nations building in New York. After meeting the director Sydney Pollack, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan arranged meetings with officials from the General Assembly and Security Council, ultimately securing permission for the production team to film on location.
