The world's cleverest thief and a secret that could save humanity
The story follows the mysterious Simon Templar (Val Kilmer), a high-profile international thief known globally as "The Saint" because he uses the names of Catholic saints as aliases for his heists. Simon is a master of disguise, a technological genius, and a man with no true identity. His life takes a radical turn when he is hired by a ruthless Russian oil magnate and political populist, Ivan Tretiak (Rade Šerbedžija). The mission is clear: steal a revolutionary scientific breakthrough—the formula for cheap and clean cold fusion. However, this formula is held by a young, idealistic American scientist, Dr. Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue). Simon infiltrates her life using yet another alias, but for the first time in his career, he commits a fatal error—he falls in love with his target. Suddenly, he finds himself caught in the crossfire between the Russian mafia, secret services, and his own conscience.
Fun Facts from Production
- Physical transformation and a dozen aliases: Val Kilmer immensely enjoyed playing the master thief. He adopts a total of 12 distinct identities throughout the film, creating specific vocal accents (ranging from South African to German) and working closely with the makeup department on custom wigs, dental prosthetics, and glasses.
- Authentic Moscow shoot: The film was shot during the wild 1990s directly on location in Moscow, including the iconic Red Square. The crew had to endure not only extreme Russian freezing temperatures but also tight security protocols and the heavy political tension gripping the country at the time.
- Dedications and injuries: Actress Elisabeth Shue (Emma) prepared so thoroughly for her role as a scientist that she consulted with actual physics professors at Oxford University. While filming a frantic chase scene through dark underground Moscow tunnels, she severely sprained her ankle but professionally pushed through the pain to finish the take.
- Iconic electronic soundtrack: The film is widely celebrated for its musical score. The director leaned heavily into the emerging electronic wave of the era, featuring legendary artists like The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Moby, Underworld, and David Bowie. The track "6 Underground" by Sneaker Pimps became a massive global smash hit.
Changing identities is his trade, but love might cost him his life.
