Salt (2010)
Evelyn Salt is tortured in a prison in North Korea on suspicion of being a U.S. spy. Her boyfriend, arachnologist Mike Krause, generates so much publicity about Salt’s imprisonment that the CIA is forced to arrange a prisoner exchange despite the agency’s policy against it. Salt’s CIA colleague Ted Winter greets Salt at the border. As they drive away, Mike proposes marriage, despite Salt’s admission to Mike that she is, in fact, a CIA operative.
Two years later, on Salt and Krause’s wedding anniversary, a Russian defector named Oleg Vasilyevich Orlov walks into Salt’s office. Salt interrogates him with Winter and CIA counter-intelligence officer Darryl Peabody observing. Orlov claims that on “Day X”, highly trained Russian sleeper agents known as “KAs” will destroy the U.S. Orlov tells them that Agent “KA-12” will assassinate Russian president Boris Matveyev at the funeral of the American Vice President. Orlov reveals that KA-12 is named Evelyn Salt, and lie detectors confirm his entire story. Peabody orders Salt be detained, while Orlov kills two agents and escapes. In the confusion, Salt is able to escape from the building, running barefoot through the street. While the CIA is searching for her, Salt returns home and discovers that her husband, Mike, was kidnapped. Salt searches the apartment with her dog, and gathers survival supplies, weapons, and one of her husband’s spiders in a jar. She leaves her dog with a child from a neighboring apartment and resumes her escape.
