A decade after the events of the original film, Evelyn Salt resurfaces from the shadows.

With enemies on all sides and the CIA still hunting her, she must rely on her training, instincts, and a few unexpected allies to prevent a catastrophic international conflict.
Set in a post-Cold War world shaken by AI surveillance and cyber-espionage, Salt 2 dives deeper into Salt's past and her true mission. As the line between friend and foe blurs, Salt must answer a critical question: Can she ever come home again—or is she forever the spy without a country?
