Borrowing liberally from the French film La Totale, this is an action picture, domestic comedy, and political thriller rolled into a crowd-pleasing ball of entertainment. Producer James Cameron wrote and directed the film. Henry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a workaholic computer salesman neglecting his mousy wife Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis), a legal secretary. Simon (Bill Paxton) seduces Helen with the lie that he is a secret agent; he's really a used car salesman. Harry suspects that Helen is cheating on him, and he sends a few colleagues to kidnap them. Helen then discovers that Harry is a secret agent by night, working for a shadowy group called the Omega Sector. Harry and his partner Gib (Tom Arnold) are trying to find four nuclear warheads that have disappeared from a former Soviet republic. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Wow, wow and wow. Action, romance, special effects, drama, comedy, terrorists, and one-liners. What more can you ask of a movie. One of the best all around action flicks of all time, and making sure to poke fun at seriousness and having fun doing it. What a riot! This is a keeper. BTW, "Running Man" doesn't even come close to this special movie.

Great date movie. Arnold shows a soft side of the action hero, Jamie Lee should keep those legs insured, and Tom Arnold is a hoot.

This is my wife of 31 years & my favorite movie of all time. It has the action, suspense, & enough shooting to keep my interest, while stirring my wife's romantic interests! For those of us who lead somewhat mundane lives, it's just the spark to ignite our imaginations while promoting a faithful marriage relationship.
