An Interpol agent named Lois Sallinger (Clive Owen) tracks down a world-class bank that does dirty work with Manhattan Deputy Attorney General (Naomi Watts). Determined to expose the bank's dirty work, Sallinger initiates an ongoing persecution in New York, Berlin and Milan and brings him to Istanbul for this purpose. Realizing that he is facing a global organization, Salinger risks his life and realizes that his target may even risk assassination to finance terrorism and world war. Filming for director Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run) began in Germany last summer and took place in several European cities and historical sites in Istanbul, including the Süleymaniye Mosque and Basilica Cistern. Famous actress Haluk Bilginer also took part in the Istanbul scenes where the knot was untied in the movie.
