Synopsis
Director
John Landis
helmed this Cold War farce starring
Dan Aykroyd
and
Chevy Chase
as Austin Millbarge and Emmett Fitz-Hume -- two loser misfits who dwell in the lower ranks of the Central Intelligence Agency. Convinced despite much evidence to the contrary that they're prime secret agent material, both men keep taking service exams in an effort to win promotion. Caught cheating on their latest round of tests, Austin and Emmett expect to be fired but are instead made full field agents and ushered into intense training. Little do they know that it's all a ruse and that they're about to be dumped in Pakistan to throw Russian spies off the scent of two real agents with an important clandestine assignment. A spoof of the "road" pictures popularized by
Bing Crosby
and
Bob Hope
, the film features a cameo by the latter as his golf-playing self. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
