I Spy
Attitude meets espionage.
Directed by Betty Thomas
Produced by Columbia Pictures, Tall Trees Productions
A high-energy buddy-cop action-comedy that prioritizes charm and humor over stakes, built on the chemistry between a seasoned spy and a cocky boxer forced into an unlikely partnership.
When the Switchblade, the most sophisticated prototype stealth fighter created yet, is stolen from the U.S. government, one of the United States' top spies, Alex Scott, is called to action. What he doesn't expect is to get teamed up with a cocky civilian, World Class Boxing Champion Kelly Robinson, on a dangerous top secret espionage mission. Their assignment: using equal parts skill and humor, catch Arnold Gundars, one of the world's most successful arms dealers.
