Question 1 of 10
1. (1994) Married to a computer salesman, Helen Tasker craves a little excitement in her life - in fact she even gets involved with some sleazy used car salesman who convinces her that he really is a spy and needs her help. Imagine her shock when she learns that her husband really is a spy, and she has to help him avert a nuclear attack on the United States. Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. (1981) A ruthless German spy manages to obtain information that could be devastating to the Allied Forces' invasion on D Day. While trying to get back to Germany with this information, he is forced to spend some time on a small island, inhabited by a crippled former soldier, his wife and their young child. Before long he must choose between his growing love for this woman, and his duty to help his country, as must she. Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. (1975) Joseph Turner has a desk job, doing research for the C.I.A. But everything changes when he returns from lunch one day to find that everyone in the office has been killed. He must try to figure out just exactly what is going on, while not getting himself killed in the interim. It would be a whole lot easier to do if he only knew who he could trust. Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. (1996) Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) is part of a highly skilled team who have set a trap to catch a spy in the act of stealing some very important information. It soon becomes obvious that they have walked into a trap, and his team members are killed. As the only one left alive, Hunt finds himself under suspicion. He has to hunt down the real bad guy, without the resources that he usually has to draw upon, in this film based on an old television series.

Answer: (Two Words)
Question 5 of 10
5. (1946) After her father is found guilty of treason, Alicia Huberman tries to forget in a life of wild partying and drinking. Her life is given new meaning when she is asked to infiltrate her father's group of Nazi friends in South America, and report back to a U.S. government agency. She does what she's asked, with a commitment that almost gets her killed. Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. (2001) Wouldn't it be weird to find that your parents used to be international spies who met when they were supposed to kill each other? And wouldn't it be even weirder to learn that they've been called back into active duty, and have been captured by a twisted genius who also makes a children's television show? And wouldn't it be even weirder still to realize that you and your sibling were the only ones who could save them?

Answer: (Two Words)
Question 7 of 10
7. (2002) This time Bond has to expose the connection between a beautiful gems dealer and a terrorist from North Korea. It's tough work unmasking a traitor and stopping an incipient war - it's a good thing that he has the stunning Jinx to help him out. Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. (1999) The diabolical Dr. Evil has invented a time machine, and he's used it to go back to the 60s and steal the mojo from his arch enemy. Our hero has to travel back in time to recover his energy, so that he can stop Evil from destroying the world with his laser beam from the moon. Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. (1979) Sheldon Kornpett, D.D.S. is more than a little worried about the apparent instability of his daughter's future father-in-law, Vince. Things get even stranger when Vince, claiming to be a C.I.A. agent drags Sheldon along on a mission to Central America, to stop a crazy dictator from overthrowing the monetary stability of the world, almost getting both of them killed in the process. Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. (1985) Emmet and Austin are two rather incompetent government employees who think that they've been promoted to big time spies. They're given the assignment of sneaking into the Soviet Union via Afghanistan, so that they can save the world from a nuclear disaster. What they're really doing though, is acting as decoys, to draw attention away from the real operatives. Hint
