TRUE LIES
On October 29, 1994 [1:14 to
16:16] Henry Tasker, an agent for the US government’s counter-terrorism agency,
the Omega Sector, crashes a party in
Switzerland and uploads secret files that point to Crimson Jihad. The agency is
concerned because four Russian atomic bombs are missing. Henry’s wife, Helen
and daughter Dana think he is just a boring salesman for a computer company who
travels a lot. Henry meets with Juno
Skinner, an antiquities dealer he was introduced to at the Swiss party. Omega
Sector thinks she has ties to Crimson Jihad and its leader Aziz. On the way home he is chased by, and then
chases Crimson Jihad agents, which causes him to miss the birthday party his
wife and daughter have prepared. The next day when he stops at Helen’s office
to take her to lunch, he overhears her talking to a man named Simon, who
pretends to be a spy to seduce women. Helen is grabbed by the agency. When
Harry, using a voice distorter, questions her about why she was meeting with
Simon, Helen tells him she wanted an adventure. Harry offers her a choice: pose
as a prostitute and plant a bug on an illegal arms dealer or jail. She chooses
the mission and meets Harry, posing as the dealer. Then Crimson Jihad breaks in
and kidnaps both of them. They are flown to Crimson Jihad’s base in the Florida
Keys. Aziz reveals he has smuggled nuclear warheads into the US inside statutes
procured by Juno. Harry reveals to Helen that he is a real spy. Harry escapes,
but Helen remains Aziz’s prisoner. As Juno takes Helen back towards Miami,
Marine Hawker Harriers take out the bridge and Harry rescues Helen using a
helicopter. A nuke left on the base explodes, and Harry learns Aziz has
kidnapped his daughter and taken her to a Miami skyscraper where he has the
other atomic bomb. Dana steals the bomb’s arming key and Aziz pursues her to a
crane on the roof. She jumps down onto the Harrier jet Harry has flown to the
site. Aziz jumps also, but he is tossed off and killed. A year later Helen is now working as an
agent alongside Harry.
A fairly good movie. Both funny
and full of action. A mindless entertainment guilty pleasure.
