Overview
"Spies Like Us" is a hilarious 1985 American comedy film directed by John Landis, featuring Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd in the lead roles. The film follows the misadventures of two bumbling intelligence agents who are sent on a covert mission to the Soviet Union.
Austin Millbarge (Aykroyd) is a codebreaker at the Pentagon who dreams of becoming a secret agent, while Emmett Fitz-Hume (Chase) is the son of an envoy who finds himself in the same situation. When the Defense Intelligence Agency needs expendable agents to serve as decoys, they promote Millbarge and Fitz-Hume to Foreign Service Operatives, sending them off with minimal training. The duo's comedic antics and unexpected encounters lead to a series of chaotic events as they inadvertently become involved in a high-stakes mission involving an SS-50 ICBM launcher.
