True Lies (How can Lies ever be True??)

Deceipt. Misconception. Lies. Role playing. Gadgets and high-strained technology. Intimacy. Secrecy. Mission to "save the world." This 1994 film, directed by James Cameron (also the director of Titanic), possesses each of the above phrases mentioned. It's an action pack, fun-filled secret agent film that is sure to keep one entertained. It is about a man, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who loves his family very much but can not reveal to them his real occupation as a secret agent on a mission to target a group of terrorists. His wife, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, is bored of the life she currently leads and finds pleasure in having an affair with an auto salesman. In return, Harry (Arnold Schwarzenegger) gives his wife a taste of the "real thing" by trying to make her fall in love with an enemy agent - Harry himself. However, the plot has not begun yet. Unexpectedly and horribly, Harry's whole plan to blackmail his wife fails because one of the terrorists goes to Miami and kidnaps Helen. The film suddenly becomes an action-packed film. Harry is fighting terrorists while rescuing his wife back and ultimately revealing to his family what he really does as a living. It is obviously something that is not typical of a family man to reveal to his family. What each character must go through is a battle, a difficult challenge in which trust, truth, and familly must come first in order for everyone (and the world!) to be saved.
Here is a clip of Jamie Lee Curtis strip-teasing in front of her husband, but who is someone she thinks is a complete stranger and "bad guy." It is sensual. The atmosphere is dark and suspicious. The mood is anything but tranquil; in fact, it is uneasy for Helen's role especially and uncredulous from her point of view. It is humourous too...if you think about it because it's really a big joke in which there is lots of dramatic irony. The link I posted has numerous brief synopses on the film.
