True Lies
When he said I do, he never said what he did.
Directed by James Cameron
Produced by Lightstorm Entertainment, 20th Century Fox
A high-octane action-thriller that balances globe-trotting spy spectacle with domestic comedy, driven by the tension between a secret agent's hidden life and his marriage.
A fearless, globe-trotting, terrorist-battling secret agent has his life turned upside down when he discovers his wife might be having an affair with a used car salesman while terrorists smuggle nuclear war heads into the United States.
