Overview
About the Film
True Lies is a 1994 American action comedy directed by James Cameron. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Harry Tasker, a top-secret U.S. government agent whose wife Helen, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, believes he is a boring computer salesman. When Harry discovers Helen is having an affair with a man who is pretending to be a spy, played by Bill Paxton, to impress her, the domestic crisis intersects with Harry's real mission — stopping a nuclear-armed terrorist group led by Aziz, played by Art Malik.
James Cameron brought his trademark perfectionist spectacle to the action sequences, including a horse chase through a hotel, a fighter jet hovering beside a skyscraper, and a nuclear detonation visible from the Florida Keys. Jamie Lee Curtis's performance — a dowdy housewife who transforms into a glamorous action participant — earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. True Lies earned $378 million worldwide on a $100 million budget.
