IN THEATERS

SALT

Synopsis: The film begins with CIA agent Evelyn Salt being released from a North Korean prison, thanks to the help of Mike, a German arachnologist, who is a highly public figure. This is noted as against the CIA's wishes, who considered her expendable. Salt marries Mike after this ordeal.

The film cuts to Salt who, along with fellow agents Winter and Peabody, interrogates a Russian defector, Orlov, who tells her about "Day X", an operation organized by a powerful Russian spymaster during the Cold War, which will bring about the destruction of the United States. Orlov claims that for this purpose, during the 1970s an elite group of Soviet agents were trained from birth in such a rigorous way that their psychological conditioning makes them "unbreakable". He mentions that at the funeral of the recently deceased US Vice President in New York City, the visiting Russian President will be killed by Russian spy Evelyn Salt, whose real name is Chenkov.

“KA-12 KA-12 program... is a myth.” — Ev said.
