Plot:
Evelyn Salt (Jolie), a CIA agent, interrogates a Russian defector, Orlov (Olbrychski). He tells her about "Day X", an operation organized by a powerful Russian since the Cold War, which will lead to the destruction of the United States. Orlov also mentions that at the funeral of the late Vice President in New York City, the visiting Russian President will be killed by a trained Russian spy. The last thing he mentions is that the name of the Russian spy is Evelyn Salt. From brain scans performed during the interrogation, Ted Winter (Schreiber), Peabody (Ejiofor), and other CIA officials all see that Orlov is telling the truth.

Salt, who is shaken up after the accusation, under the supervision of the other agents, attempts to contact her husband Mike (Diehl) an arachnologist, fearing that he would be in danger. At the same time, Orlov escapes and Salt proceeds to escape herself, causing the CIA to think she is a spy. She goes back to her apartment to try and find her husband and takes her essentials (including a venomous spider), while escaping the CIA once more, and goes into hiding. The CIA realizes that if Orlov's words are correct, Salt will be the one who kills the Russian President. Salt assumes a new disguise and takes a bus, reaching New York City.

The next day, she sneaks into the heavily guarded St. Bartholomew's Church where the Vice President's funeral is being held. Salt climbs in from underground and disables the nearby guards. As the CIA and soldiers close in on her, she creates havoc by blowing up numerous parts of the church as well as capturing the Russian President and shooting him. She encounters Peabody, but instead of killing him, she turns herself in. The NYPD escorts her out, but during the ride on the highway, she manages to escape once more.
