Twenty years ago, James Cameron stepped out of his sci-fi comfort zone and brought us the classic spy film: True Lies. Action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger took on the role of a Harry Tasker—a salesman who lives a double life as a covert anti-terrorist operative under the employ of the government—who must keep his identity a secret from his family and save the world from a Palestinian terrorism organization. The experimental recipe of comedy and espionage proved magical, as the movie managed to balance great action sequences and hilarious dialogue, culminating into a summer blockbuster.
