Three-time Golden Globe award-winning actress Angelina Jolie portrays Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer. When a man sends in a tip that a Russian agent is on their way to New York City to assassinate the president and points the finger at her — in front of all of her colleagues — she flees. With her life, her career, and everything she's ever worked for on the line, Evelyn's duty is no longer to her country, but to herself.
