Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a senior agent of the FBI who is being ordered to investigate a transnational nuclear weapons smuggling case. For security reasons, Harry didn't even tell his real identity, his wife of 15 years, Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis). Helen is an ordinary white-collar worker, and the ordinary life has made her tired. Once, car dealer Simon pretended to be an FBI agent and slipped into Helen's house and lied that he was being hunted down. The stressful experience quickly captivated Helen. None of this escaped the eyes of the real FBI agent, Harry. Harry used spy detection methods to make Simon look beautiful, and when he dressed up as a Frenchman who was about to molest Helen, he was suddenly attacked by terrorists, and the two were taken hostage to a tropical island. Can Harry and Helen finally escape and foil the terrorist plot?

True Lies quotes

  • Simon: [leaning on Simon's corvette, having lunch] Okay, just ask yourself: What do women really want? You take these bored housewives, married to the same guy for years, they're stuck in a rut, then need some release! Promise of adventure, a hint of danger. I create that for them.

    Harry: So basically, your lying your ass off the whole time. See, I can't do that.

    Simon: What are you, a boy scout? No, no, no, think of it as playing a role as fantasy. I mean, you got to work on their dreams. Get them out of their daily surburban grind for a few hours.

    Harry: But what about their husbands?

    Simon: Dickless! I mean, let's face it, if they took care of business, I'd be out of business! You know what I mean?

    [laughs]

    Harry: [fake laughs] Those idiots!

  • [Harry returns to the van after escaping the castle]

    Harry: Hi guys.

    Gib: Well that worked real good. Right out the old front gate.

    Harry: Can you lean back a second...
