An action film from Arnold Schwarzenegger's prime. With the help of novelists, these "devils" are even more famous.

Harry is a super agent. Out of national security needs, he has been hiding his true identity from his wife Helen for 17 years of marriage. Helen thought her husband was an honest computer operator who was beginning to get tired of the ordinary and boring life.

One day Harry's birthday, Helen prepared a lively birthday party for him. But Harry was followed by terrorists on his way home and had to deal with them, so he missed the family banquet. In order to make up for his mistake, Harry went to Helen's company to have lunch with her the next day, but unexpectedly found that his wife had a hot fight with a man named Simon.

According to the investigation, Simon is actually a second-hand car dealer, specializing in impersonating a "spy" to seduce married couples who have a boring life and want to pursue excitement. Harry decided to recruit Helen to join the "spy organization".

Harry's first "task" for Helen was to ask her out on a hotel date, but nominally let her dance for an "arms dealer". When Helen was shocked to find out that it was her husband Harry, the real terrorists broke into the hotel and kidnapped the couple to a deserted island. In the end, with the extraordinary skills he has cultivated over the years, after a round of desperate struggles, Harry eliminated the terrorists and completed the task. A year later, Harry takes on a secret mission again, but this time his partner is Helen.

"True Lies" is not like a bow drawn full of twelve points in terms of psychological tension, but the film's funny and entertaining qualities are also brought into full play. Stars, action, funny, digital technology get the fullest and most perfect combination in this movie.

    When I saw the Harrier fighter that could lift vertically, I was deeply shocked.

    There are too many classic bridges, never get tired of watching them. The film could also have a subtitle: "The Release of Jamie Lee Curtis", lol. The main thing is the villain, the villain, the big villain, the head of the rebel group, Basha, whose eyes are as deep as a well in the "harem", will become a terrorist after a few years - you see, people of color are still being treated unfairly. Well, I had to be a terrorist when I was forced to do so.

True Lies quotes

  • Simon: [trying to sell Harry a Corvette with Simon driving] You see, it's not just a car. It's a total image. An identity you have to go for. This isn't some high-tech sports car. Tell you the truth, it doesn't even handle that great. But that's not the idea, is it? What are we talking about here? Pussy, right?

    Harry: [fake laughs] Absolutely.

    Simon: Let's face it, Harry. The 'Vette gets 'em wet.

  • Gib: [in their SUV, following Simon and Helen, arrived at Simon's used car dealership] The guy is a goddamn used car salesman!

    [amused]

    Gib: I mean, this just keeps getting better and better!

    [Harry gives him a dirty look]

    Gib: I'm sorry, Harry, I know this has got to be painful. But you gotta admit, it's pretty damn funny. I mean, if it was just some idiot and not you, you'd be laughing your ass off.

    [starts to laugh]
