In a world filled with espionage and state secrets, two unconventional agents find themselves involved in a mission that could change the course of the Cold War. When two bumbling bureaucrats from the CIA, played by Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd, are mistakenly selected for a dangerous undercover operation abroad, their lives take an unexpected turn. What seemed to be an administrative job transforms into a thrilling adventure full of entanglements and comedic situations.
Disregarding all logic, both protagonists, who barely know how to handle weapons or speak other languages, find themselves amid a narrative filled with betrayals, misunderstandings, and ridiculous escapades. From confrontations with rival spies to surprises in military camps, these two not-so-bright aspiring secret agents will try to prove that, although lacking experience, they have brave hearts.
As they navigate through absurd situations, the duo becomes unlikely friends, facing not only the threat of the enemy but also their own insecurities. With humor full of wit and memorable moments, the film explores camaraderie, fate, and the idea that sometimes the most inept can be the unexpected heroes. All of this is set against a backdrop of espionage that, beneath the surface, conceals a critique of bureaucracy and the absurdity of international politics of the era.
