Synopsis:
Salt is an American action thriller film directed by Phillip Noyce, written by Kurt Wimmer and Brian Helgeland, and starring Angelina Jolie, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Liev Schreiber. Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, accused of being a KGB sleeper agent, on the run to try to clear her name. While Tom Cruise was initially secured for the lead, he was unable to commit to the role because of commitments to other projects, and the script was ultimately rewritten for Jolie.
Filming took place on location in Washington, DC and New York City between March and June 2009. Jolie suffered a head injury while shooting an action scene and was taken to hospital as a "precautionary measure", but was released the same day with no life-threatening injuries and filming was resumed.
