Plot
Template:Spoiler Maxwell Smart is an overweight intelligence expert for the secret government security agency CONTROL. He dreams of being a spy in the field, like his hero, CONTROL Agent 23, portrayed by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. When enemy agency KAOS breaks into CONTROL files and learns the identity of all CONTROL spies, The Chief (played by Alan Arkin) is forced to place Smart in the field, working with recent plastic surgery patient Agent 99. 99 must teach Smart that there's more to being a spy than following the manual.
Smart and 99 chase down Nenad Krstic, a nuclear weapons smuggler for KAOS. Overeager wanna-be spy Max shoots the spy before they can get any information from him. The duo hunt clues that lead them to an Italian Bakery and KAOS agent Szczerbiak. Max and 99 manage to defeat the villains, and celebrate their victory by having sex.
KAOS turns serious, threatening to detonate a nuclear bomb in America if their demands are not met. It's up to Max and 99 to team together again and save the day.
