The International

“They control your money. They control your government. They control your life. And everybody pays.”

Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) is an Interpol agent who has spent years trying to build a case against the IBBC, a Luxembourg merchant bank that launders money and brokers arms. Tom Tykwer sends him through Berlin, Milan, New York and Istanbul, and in Manhattan he joins forces with district attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts). Two investigators who barely know each other end up depending on one another, because the bank deals with its threats permanently.
