Spy (2015)

Elevator Pitch

A normally desk bound CIA agent, Susan Cooper, is let out into the field because none of the people being tracked, in order to recover a nuclear device, know her. She must infiltrate a criminal organisation led by Rayna Boyanov,  the daughter of a man killed accidentally by the agent she usually supports and convince her that she has been been hired by her father as a bodyguard, and as a member of the gang’s inner circle follows the progress of the negotiations to sell the bomb.

There are a load of set pieces, starting when Susan is supporting agent Bradley Fine from the CIA ops room, and carrying on into her travels through the major cities of Europe, ending up in Budapest and the various dachas of the rich and famous. Many typical Bond scenes are spoofed, including a car chase – Susan on a scooter – a fight in an aircraft with people experiencing zero gravity and a helicopter incident with her hanging from the landing skids. She is pursued by a spy who lusts after her, but there is no nudity, no sex, but a view of one probably prosthetic penis.
