Plot
Martin Campbell directs the romantic adventure Beyond Borders. Angelina Jolie stars as Sarah Jordan, a American living with her wealthy British husband, Henry Bauford (Linus Roache), in London during the early '80s. At a charity benefit, she meets passionate relief worker Nick Callahan (Clive Owen), who chastises the rich people for not helping out the needy in war-torn countries. Sarah is quickly compelled to join his humanitarian cause to fight the famine in Ethopia. She then follows him to Cambodia, where they start up a love affair and Nick gets involved in an arms-smuggling operation before they finally end up in Chechnya.

In a place she didn't belong, among people she never knew, she found a way to make a difference.
Overview
While attending a fund raising gala, Sarah Jordan (Jolie), a naive, married American socialite living in England, witnesses a fiery plea delivered by an intruder- a renegade humanitarian, Dr. Nick Callahan (Owen). His plea made on behalf of impoverished children under his care, turns Sarah's life upside down. Attracted to Nick and his cause, she impulsively abandons her sheltered life in England to work along side him in his effort to aid the refugee camps.
As Sarah's work takes her to these volatile areas, where few people have traveled an even fewer have survived, she discovers that the harsh realities she encounters, and her growing attraction to the charismatic, unpredictable doctor, ignite in her passion for saving lives... while risking her own in the process.
