Salt

THE MOVIE CHANNEL | BOX OFFICE | MORE TRAILERS

Angelina Jolie stars in Salt, a contemporary action thriller from Columbia Pictures. As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.

Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.

Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who Is Salt?".

This flick has been floating around for quite some time now, with the film originally scripted with a male lead and Tom Cruise set to play the title character. Ultimately, he backed out and the script was rewritten with a female lead and Angelina Jolie took the role.

Will be interesting to see what this saltry lady does with the film...

Salt hits Australian theatres August 26, 2010.
