This action-adventure movie is largely tongue-in-cheek. Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger) and his friend Albert Gibson (Arnold) are spies. Harry is married to Helen (Curtis), who thinks he's a simple salesman. Bored with her life and her apparently dull husband, she is ensnared by Simon (Paxton) who is also not what he seems. Harry's solution then entangles them both in international intrigue, smuggling, terrorism and nuclear weaponry. Many loud explosions ensue.

The movie relies heavily on stunts, often performed by Schwarzenegger and Curtis themselves. It's largely remembered for the three action set pieces that come in the climax of the film. One involves Marine bombers blowing up the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys, another is Helen being scooped up by helicopter out of a falling car, and the last is an extended action sequence of Harry piloting a Harrier jet through the city of Miami.
