Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, insurer of about 80 percent of all films in the United States, said “Salt,” was the riskiest film of 2010.

Angelina Jolie, who plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent accused of being a Russian spy, performed many of her own stunts during the film. That may be commendable, but when Ms. Jolie decided she'd like to ride a motorcycle, jump off a bridge, avoid being blown up, and throw punches, the risk skyrocketed.

“It isn't necessarily unusual, but it can cost a lot if she were to get hurt,” said Wendy Diaz, director of entertainment underwriting at Fireman's Fund.
