    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The movie was originally written with Salt as a male (Edwin A. Salt), and Tom Cruise was approached to play him. Ultimately, he backed out and the script was rewritten with a female lead and Angelina Jolie was cast.
    • Goofs
      In the Theatrical Release, the President is unconscious, not dead, in the bunker. Upon regaining consciousness, the President certainly would have revealed Agent Winter, and not Agent Salt, as the culprit.
    • Quotes
      • Evelyn Salt: What is your name?
      • Vassily Orlov: My name is Vassily Orlov. Today, a Russian agent will travel to New York city to kill the President. This agent is KA-12.
      • Evelyn Salt: The KA program is a myth.
      • Vassily Orlov: Don't you want to know the name?
      • Evelyn Salt: You're good. You can tell the rest of your story to one of my colleagues.
      • Vassily Orlov: Salt.
      • Evelyn Salt: Yes?
      • Vassily Orlov: The name of the agent is Evelyn Salt.
      • Evelyn Salt: My name is Evelyn Salt.
      • Vassily Orlov: Then you are a Russian spy.
    • Alternate versions
      UK theatrical version was cut for violence to achieve a '12A' rating with edits to the opening torture scene and some blows and chain throttling during fight scenes. These cuts persisted into the US theatrical version, although the UK DVD was raised to a 15 due to the inclusion of the extended and director's cut versions (which are unrated on the US DVD).
