WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

After a cyber-attack reveals the identity of every secret agent working undercover, the British government has no choice but to call in its biggest embarrassment, the bumbling and incompetent spy Johnny English (Atkinson), out of retirement in order to find the hacker responsible. As he overcomes the hurdles of modern technology to complete the mission, English also gets into more than one awkward situation…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
