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 Jane 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.
