Revolves around Frank, an American
tourist visiting Italy to mend a broken heart. Elise is an
extraordinary woman who deliberately crosses his path.
A mysterious woman named Elise (Jolie) is being trailed in Paris by a number of men who work for Scotland Yard. At a cafe, she receives a letter from Alexander Pearce, a former lover, with explicit directions to board a train to Venice, Italy,
pick out a man who resembles him and make the police believe that this
man is Alexander Pearce. A mysterious stranger, not involved with the
police, also seems to be watching Elise. Elise burns the letter and
boards a train.
She takes a seat beside Frank (Depp),
an American tourist reading a spy novel. Frank is instantly attracted
to her. The train arrives in Venice and they take a boat to Elise's
hotel. At dinner, much to Frank's dismay, Elise admits to having
feelings for another man, presumably Alexander Pearce. They share a
kiss, witnessed by the men following her.
The next day, Frank awakens to find Elise gone. Men suddenly try to
break into the hotel room. Frank barely escapes but is caught by the
Italian police. A sympathetic detective listens to Frank's story that he
does not know why these men are after him. He takes Frank from the jail
only to bring him to the clutches of the men who invaded Elise's hotel
room.Elise appears suddenly to rescue Frank, fleeing on a boat. Elise
finally tells Frank that all this is happening because she kissed him
and made the police believe that he was Alexander Pearce. Frank learns
that Pearce stole two billion from a gangster named Shaw (Steven Berkoff) and is wanted by the British Government for tax evasion. Stunned by the news, Frank says he still does not regret kissing Elise.
Elise apologizes for getting him involved at all and tricks Frank off
the boat. Frank says he loves her. Elise goes to a government building.
She turns out to be a secret agent for Britain. She sees her fellow
British agent Acheson (Bettany),
who was among those following her in Paris. Elise was supposed to work
undercover against Pearce but fell in love with him and had disappeared
from her job until now. She tells Acheson that she is ready to help him
find Pearce now.
Elise goes to a ball Pearce has invited her to attend, wearing a
wire. She is handed a letter by the same mysterious stranger from Paris.
The letter is from Pearce, saying where to meet him. As Elise turns to
leave, Frank is standing in front of her. They dance. Elise leaves to
find Pearce and agent Acheson's men apprehend Frank. They both watch on
surveillance equipment as Elise walks into a trap set by the gangster
Shaw. The gangster threatens to kill her unless she returns the money
Pearce stole from him. Agent Acheson doesn't help his colleague Elise,
confident that Pearce will show up to rescue her.
Elise reveals the safe's location but does not know its code. Frank
watches in horror as Elise is threatened yet again. Seeing that Acheson
won't help Elise, Frank picks the lock to his handcuffs and escapes to
help her. Frank pretends to be Pearce. Elise begs him to stop or he will
be killed. Frank, acting as Pearce, tells Shaw that he will get his
money but only if Elise is first released and safe. As Frank pretends
that he is about to open the safe, Elise mouths "I love you."
All of a sudden, police snipers shoot Shaw and his men. Frank and
Elise are unharmed. As the police survey the scene, agent Acheson can't
believe that Pearce did not save Elise and his superior is furious with
him for exposing her to danger. A police report informs them that Pearce
has just been caught. As the room clears, Elise and Frank embrace.
Frank asks Elise if she loves both him and Alexander Pearce. Elise
answers yes. To spare her from this dilemma, Frank reveals that he is
the real Alexander Pearce by entering the correct code for the safe.
Pearce had gotten plastic surgery so he could have a new life.
The arrested man believed to be Pearce explains to police that he was
paid to pretend and that he is just a tourist. Elise and Frank/Pearce
leave on a boat with the money, finally being able to be together. In
the safe, police find a bankers check for the 744 million pounds in back
taxes Pearce owed the British government.
