| DESCRIPTION |
|
| Secret agent Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a busy
man; when he's not saving the world from terrorists, he's under cover as a
boring computer salesman, juggling the everyday needs of his wife, Helen
(Jamie Lee Curtis), and his daughter. While Harry and his partner, Gib
(Tom Arnold), work to stop a gang of international terrorists from getting
their hands on missing nuclear weapons, Helen, feeling neglected, begins a
covert affair with a sleazy used car salesman pretending to be a spy. When
Harry finds out, he decides to give Helen a lesson in spy games, which
backfires when the couple is kidnapped and stuck in the middle of an
international terrorist crisis. Director James Cameron topped his previous
spectaculars with this action-comedy extravaganza (the most expensive film
ever made before TITANIC), featuring amazing stunts and special effects.
Actual Harrier jets were hired from the U.S Air Force for their sequence,
while production dangled from a skyscraper over the streets of Miami for
the amazing climax. TRUE LIES is based on a 1991 French spy comedy
entitled LA TOTALE! (Translation: THE JACKPOT).
"True Lies" is a remake of the 1991 French action farce
"La Totale!" starring Miou-Miou. Rated BBFC 15 by the British
Board of Film Classification. Copyright 1994 Twentieth Century Fox.
"To Cameron, moviemaking isn't just a business, it's an adventure.
'I like to keep challenging myself,' he says, 'so I try different things.
And a lot of the things I like to try are expensive. I will say what I say
about every budget: the price of a ticket is $7.50, and you're getting a
lot of movie for it. End of story." --Richard Corliss, TIME, July 18,
1994
"...Cameron's latest, giddiest roller-coaster ride....TRUE LIES
brings out the gentler, funnier side of [Schwarzenegger and
Curtis]....Sensational..."
"...TRUE LIES explodes onscreen like a Molotov cocktail that's
been shaken and stirred..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
"...An elaborately scaled comic suspense thriller....A likably
disposable pop cocktail..." -- Rating: B+
"...The director, James Cameron, is a master of action, and when
he's doing his thing, no one does it better....On the basis of stunts,
special effects and pure action, it delivers sensationally..."
