Political intrigue and deception unfold inside the United Nations, where a U.S. Secret Service agent is assigned to investigate an interpreter who overhears an assassination plot.
 
The film is a fairly slow political thriller, so don't expect a lot of great action.
 
FUN FACT:  This is the only collaboration between Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. In 1996, when Kidman was overlooked as an Oscar nominee for her praised turn in To Die For (1995) she received a letter from a fan that only said: "You were robbed". Kidman claims that that was "as good as an Oscar nomination". The letter was from Sean Penn.
