| Escalating events begin when 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. With the words "The Teacher will never leave this room alive," in an instant, Silvia's life is turned upside down as she becomes a hunted target of the killers. Placed under the protection of federal agent Tobin Keller (Penn), Silvia's world only grows more nightmarish. As Keller digs deeper into his eyewitnesses' past and her secretive world of global connections, the more suspicious he becomes that she herself might be involved in the conspiracy. With every step of the way, he finds more reasons to mistrust her. Is Sylvia a victim? A suspect? Or something else entirely? And can Tobin, coping with his own personal heartache, keep her safe?

The truth needs no translation
Set inside the political corridors of the United Nations and on the streets of New York, The Interpreter is a story of international intrigue and deception.
Directed by Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa, The Firm), The Interpreter stars Penn (Mystic River, I Am Sam) as US Secret Service agent Tobin Keller and Kidman (The Hours, Moulin Rouge) as interpreter Silvia Broome.
African-born U.N. interpreter Silvia inadvertently overhears a death threat against an African head of state scheduled to address the U.N. General Assembly. Realising she’s become a target of the assassins as well, Silvia becomes desperate to thwart the plot…if only she can survive long enough to get someone to believe her.
Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with protecting Silvia, suspects she might not be telling the whole truth. Silvia and Tobin see life from different points of view: Silvia believes in the power and sanctity of words while Tobin believes in reading people based on their behaviour, no matter what is said.
The Interpreter is an exciting and breathtaking thriller with an outstanding cast and definitely one to watch… Add to your list now!
