Synopsis:

Oscar winner Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds star in the action-thriller Safe House. Washington plays the CIA`s most dangerous traitor, who stuns the intelligence community when he surfaces in South Africa. When the safe house to which he`s remanded is attacked by brutal mercenaries, a rookie (Reynolds) is forced to help him escape. As the masterful manipulator toys with his reluctant protege, the young operative finds his morality tested and idealism shaken. Now, they must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead. Legendary spy Tobin Frost (Washington) has eluded capture for almost a decade. One of the best ops men that the CIA`s ever trained, the brilliant ex-intelligence officer has betrayed assets and sold military codes to enemies of the state since he turned. From aiding splinter cells to trading incendiary secrets to the highest bidder, the damage he`s done to the U.S. is immeasurable. Now, Frost is back on the grid with the most explosive intel he`s ever gotten his hands on.
For the past year, Matt Weston has been frustrated by his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town. A ``housekeeper`` who aspires to be a full-fledged case officer, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. When the first and only occupant he`s had proves to be the most dangerous operative he will ever cross, Weston readies for duty. As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries in brutal pursuit of Frost come and level Weston`s safe house. Barely escaping, the veteran spy and untested captor must discover whether their attackers were sent by terrorists or by someone on the inside. With only hours left to get Frost to the next safe house, Weston must figure out who he can trust before he and the world`s most skillful assassin are both eliminated.
