Plot: Directed by Sydney Pollack ("Three Days of the Condor", "The Firm") set and shot inside the real life political corridors of the United Nations. The story follows African-born U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome inadvertently overhears a death threat against an African head of state scheduled to address the United Nation's General Assembly. Realizing she's become a target of the assassins as well, Silvia's desperate to thwart the plot...if only she can survive long enough to get someone to believe her. Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with protecting the interpreter, suspects she may not be telling the whole truth. In the right hallway, at the right time, all it takes is a whisper to tip the balance of power.
