Summary

Basically, “TheInternational” tells the story of Louis Salinger(Clive Owen), an Interpol agent who has spent the last several years trying to bring down the IBBC, a powerful international bank engaged in illegal arms dealing. (Singer says the idea for the movie was inspired by the real-life arms-trafficking scandal of Pakistan’s Bank of Credit and Commercial International.)

Themovie opens as Salinger’s partner is assassinated after meeting a secret witness who could destroy the bank.  Determined to avenge his friend’s death, Salinger teams up with Manhattan District Attorney Eleanor Whitman(Naomi Watts), and the two form a kind of globe-trotting CSI team.  They bounce from New York to Italy to the Middle East, following a trail of clues, suspects, and dead bodies they hope will blow open the conspiracy and help them arrest IBBC head Jonas Skarssen(Ulrich Thomsen).

Ouotes:

Wilhelm Wexler: Sometimes a man can meet his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

Louis Salinger: Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn... I'm the one you burn.

Wilhelm Wexler: We cannot control the things life does to us. They are done before you know it, and once they are done, they make you do other things. Until at last everything comes between you and the man you wanted to be.

Umberto Calvini: [In explaining the "true" nature of banking in the world] The IBBC is a bank. Their objective isn't to control the conflict, it's to control the debt that the conflict produces. You see, the real value of a conflict, the true value, is in the debt that it creates. You control the debt, you control everything. You find this upsetting, yes? But this is the very essence of the banking industry, to make us all, whether we be nations or individuals, slaves to debt.

Louis Salinger: Based on everything I've read about you, you seem like the kind of man who aspired to die for something more than this.

Wilhelm Wexler: Well, this is the difference between truth and fiction. Fiction has to make sense.

Wilhelm Wexler: Character is easier kept than recovered.

Cassian Skarssen: When there's no way out, you find a deeper way in.

Jonas Skarssen: [to his son regarding a board game] This is a game that rewards patience and balance. You must think like a man of action and act like a man of thought.

More Synopsis

Louis Salinger (Clive Owen), of Interpol, and Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts), an Assistant District Attorney from Manhattan, are investigating the International Bank of Business and Credit (IBBC), which funds activities such as money laundering, terrorism, arms trading, and the destabilisation of governments. Salinger's and Whitman's investigation takes them from Berlin to Milan, where the IBBC assassinates Umberto Calvini, an arms manufacturer who is an Italian prime ministerial candidate. The bank's assassin diverts suspicion to a local assassin with political connections, who is promptly killed by a corrupt policeman. Salinger and Whitman get a lead on the second assassin, but the corrupt policeman shows up again and orders them out of the country. At the airport they are able to check the security camera footage for clues, and follow a suspect to New York.

In New York, Salinger and Whitman are met by two NYPD detectives, Iggy Ornelas (Felix Solis) and Bernie Ward (Jack McGee), who have a photograph of the assassin's face when he arrived in New York airport. Salinger, Ornelas, and Ward locate Dr. Isaacson (Tibor Feldman) to whose practice the assassin's leg brace has been traced. They find the assassin (Brían F. O'Byrne) and follow him to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Jonas Skarssen (Ulrich Thomsen), the chairman of the IBBC,reveals to his senior men White (Patrick Baladi) and Wexler (Armin Mueller-Stahl) that the bank had Calvini killed so that they could deal with his sons, to buy guidance systems for missiles in which the bank has invested. Since the bank knows that Salinger and Whitman are close to finding their assassin, they send a hit team to kill him at a meeting between him and his handler, Wexler. Wexler leaves and is arrested by Ornelas. As Salinger speaks to the assassin, a spectacular gunfight at the Guggenheim erupts when a number of gunmen attempt to kill them with automatic weapons. They escape, but the assassin is mortally wounded.

In interrogation, Wexler, a former Stasi colonel, explains to Salinger that the IBBC is practically untouchable because of its utility to terrorist organisations, drug cartels, governments and powerful corporations of all complexions; even if he succeeds in bringing the IBBC down there are hundreds of other banks which will replace them. If Salinger wants justice, he will need to go outside the system, and Wexler indicates a willingness to help. In Italy, Salinger tells the Calvini brothers of the IBBC's responsibility for their father's murder, prompting them to cancel the deal with the bank and have White killed.

Salinger then accompanies Wexler to Istanbul, where Skarssen is buying the crucial components from their only other manufacturer. Salinger attempts to record the conversation so that he can obstruct the deal by proving to the buyers that the missiles will be useless, but ultimately fails. Both Wexler and Skarssen are then killed by a hitman contracted by Enzo and Mario Calvini to avenge their father's murder by the bank. Salinger is left stunned, his investigation, pursuit and determination to bring down the IBBC, have led him to nothing. During the closing credits it is indicated that the bank is successfully continuing with its operations despite the death of its Chairman – as Skarssen had predicted to Salinger before he was killed.
