In the movie, which is described as an action-packed buddy comedy with a spy twist, Reynolds plays U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy "Assassin" Kelly. He is sent on a secret mission into Russian land during the Cold War. Things go wrong, and Troy is left stuck behind enemy lines. He is then found by Nikolai Ustinov, played by Kenneth Branagh, a former KGB agent who strangely loves American culture. At first, Troy thinks he is in serious trouble. But instead of turning him in, Nikolai forms an unexpected bond with him. The two men try to work together to survive and find a way out.
