- a.k.a. Agent Null Null Nix - Bill Murray in hirnloser Mission
Der Amerikaner Wallace Ritchie besucht seinen Bruder James, einen erfolgreichen Banker, in London. Weil James keine Zeit für den Besucher hat, schenkt er Wallace eine Karte für das Theaterspiel „Theatre of Life“, bei dem der Zuschauer in das Geschehen mit einbezogen wird. Doch was Wallace erwartet, ist weitaus realer, als er sich es hätte vorstellen können. Denn statt zu der Inszenierung gerät der ahnungslose Wallace mittenhinein in echtes und tatsächliches Spionage-Komplott wie aus Zeiten des Kalten Krieges. Fest davon überzeugt, nach wie vor Teil des Theaters zu sein, schlüpft Wallace in die Rolle des Auftragskillers und meistert jede Situation mit mehr Glück als Verstand. Leidlich amüsiert befolgt er die Anweisungen seiner Kontaktpersonen, während ihm echte Kugeln um die Ohren fliegen. Erst als die hübsche Lori sein nächstes Opfer werden soll, beschließt er, das Drehbuch zu ändern…

À l'occasion de son anniversaire, Wallace Ritchie rend visite à son frère James, installé à Londres. Mais celui-ci est fort occupé à préparer un important dîner d'affaires. Pour se débarrasser, le temps d'une soirée, de son encombrant invité, James l'inscrit à une séance théâtrale interactive dans laquelle les acteurs sont immergés, en pleine rue, au cœur de l'action. Mais un quiproquo entraîne Wallace parmi de véritables agents secrets britanniques et russes, chargés d'un complot visant à ranimer la guerre froide. Persuadé de participer à une pièce très réaliste, Wallace Ritchie déjoue sans le vouloir tous les pièges et s'engage dans une folle course-poursuite...
