There are actually four people in the Powers next door, one is the amateur Jeff and the other is Tim and the professional spy.
Jeff is the head of IMB's human resources department. Because the computers in his office are one of the few devices that are not restricted by external access (the company has a weapon research and development partnership with the government), many employees borrow his computers to go online every day. His wife, Karen, is a full-time housewife, originally a decorator, and she designs urinals for neighbors in her spare time.
However, his wife Karen found that the newly moved Tims were acting strangely, and she suspected that Natalie was not an ordinary person, but an agent. Then, Karen used her keen sixth sense to follow Natalie in good faith and found that she was secretly exchanging information with others, but the reckless tracking was seen through, which naturally led to a series of jokes.
The Jeffs were at home, and they accidentally discovered that there was a bug hidden in the gift Tim gave them. Therefore, the couple concluded that the Tims were spies.
The reckless Karen insisted on checking in Tim's house, and Jeff couldn't help but went in. When I went to the room, I was surprised to find that Tim’s computer contained a lot of information about Jeff and his colleagues.
Jeff didn't call the police, but handed over the bug to a colleague who has relations with the military to check it. When the Jeffs and his wife were aware of the situation at the colleague's home, they were suddenly killed by a sniper from a distance.
In a crisis, Tim and his wife rushed to fly, and then there was a fierce gun battle and speed race...
For the rescue of Tim and his wife, Jeff believed that they were agents rather than spies, but for the question of the truth, Tim was motivated by intelligence. Confidential and silent.
When they got home, Jeff and his wife saw that their neighbor's house was instantly shattered by bombs. Realizing that their lives would not be preserved, the Jeffs quickly packed their luggage and ran away, but there was a sudden power failure at home. When they turned on the switch in the basement, they saw Tim and his wife holding guns and escorting their colleagues Dan and his wife.
It turned out that Dan used Jeff’s computer to smuggle missile micro-processing chips to the arms dealer Scorpio due to income constraints. Once the micro-processing chips flow into foreign countries, the secrets of the National Missile Defense System will be leaked. Therefore, the Tims have always wanted to use Jeff's computer to investigate the matter.
At this time, the arms dealer "Scorpio" called Dan, and Dan was panicked and overwhelmed, so Jeff answered the phone.
Out of friendship, the Jeff and his wife risked their lives against the Dans and helped Tim to trade with the "Scorpio".
But what's bad is that "Scorpio" used to be an employee of IMB, and was reprimanded by Jeff for the parking dispute. Because of Jeff's bad professional habits, "talking", "Scorpio" recognizes Jeff's identity, and Jeff and his wife are hanging by a thread.
Also out of friendship, the Tims disregarded the boss's "retreat" order and resolutely went to the danger to rescue their neighbors. Next, it was naturally a wonderful shootout...
Comedy films, naturally, ended in a perfect ending-a safe escape. But the story did not end there. The Jeff and his wife later traveled to the Middle East, and they accidentally met the Tim couple. They recklessly and without thinking to greet them, and finally they entered a thrilling gunfight with agents...

    It's embarrassing for someone to act in a comedy. This film is really a waste of time, just watch the trailer.

    Tim Jones: Because Jeff is actually a good listener. And I did mention that to you before, in Marrakesh. At that place that we always go to. Hazim's. That day, we spent the whole afternoon here. We talked about maybe getting out of this. We talked about I could actually become a travel writer, for real. We could maybe have a child.
