Info

The movie opens with Elise (Angelina Jolie) being followed by French Police, working with Scotland Yard under the direction of Inspector John Acheson (Paul Bettany). Acheson has spent years hunting Elise's old lover, Alexander Pearce, who owes £744 million in back taxes and is believed to have received plastic surgery to alter his appearance. At a cafe, Elise receives instructions from Pearce: board a train to Venice, pick out a man who resembles Pearce, and make the police believe that this decoy is the man himself. Elise picks Frank (Johnny Depp), an American high school teacher. She spends much time with him, seeming to start a romance. The police recognize the ruse; but it does fool Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff), a gangster from whom Pearce stole $2.3 billion.

Pearce leaves further instructions for Elise to attend a ball. Elise abandons Frank, who is then chased by Shaw's men. Through a mishap, Frank is arrested, only to have a corrupt inspector turn him over to Shaw's men in exchange for the bounty on Pearce's head. Elise rescues Frank, leading Shaw's men on an extended chase and escaping. She leaves Frank at the airport with his passport and money, urging him to go home for his own safety.

Elise is revealed to be a Scotland Yard undercover agent who may have become Pearce's ally. Because of her fears for Frank, she agrees to a sting operation. At the ball, Elise is surprised by Frank, who claims to be in love with her. When Frank is pulled out by the police, Elise goes after Pearce to a new rendezvous point, closely followed by other agents with Frank in tow. Unknown to either party, Shaw and his men also follow.

When Elise arrives at the destination, Shaw takes her prisoner, threatening her unless she finds his stolen money. Despite Elise's peril, Inspector Acheson repeatedly turns down police requests to intervene. Frank escapes police custody and confronts Shaw. Chief Inspector Jones (Timothy Dalton) arrives, overrides Acheson, and orders police snipers to fire, killing Shaw and his men. Jones lifts Elise's suspension and terminates her employment.

The police chase after a possible sighting of Pearce. Alone with Elise, Frank opens the safe, revealing that he truly is Alexander Pearce. He and Elise take the money and depart, leaving a check for the balance of his taxes owed. Acheson wants to pursue him; but Jones determines that, with the taxes paid, Pearce's only crime is that he stole money from a now-dead gangster. Jones orders the case to be closed; Frank and Elise sail away.
