Spies Like Us

In the shadowy recesses of the Pentagon, Austin Millbarge yearns for a more exciting life beyond his mundane existence as a code breaker. His dreams of becoming a daring covert agent fuel his desire for adventure and purpose.

Emmett Fitz-Hume, the son of an envoy, becomes pressured by peers to take the foreign service exam. His questionable motives lead him to attempt bribing the test proctor, resulting in a humiliating failure.

After Fitz-Hume’s embarrassing bribery attempt, Millbarge faces the aftermath of his supervisor's sabotage. With only 24 hours left to prepare for the exam, he feels unprepared and anxious about his future.

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) unexpectedly promotes Millbarge and Fitz-Hume to GLG-20 Foreign Service Operatives despite their previous underperformance. Their new positions come with little training, sending them into a risky international assignment.

Millbarge and Fitz-Hume embark on a vague mission in Pakistan and Soviet Central Asia. Unbeknownst to them, they are being used as decoys to distract from a more experienced team tasked with capturing a mobile missile launcher.

While in the treacherous Pamir Mountains, the duo encounters Karen Boyer, a surviving operative. Together, they devise a plan to don makeshift alien costumes to evade and incapacitate enemy guards.

With real-time instructions from agents in a military bunker, Millbarge and Fitz-Hume take control of the mobile missile launcher. This unauthorized action sets in motion a potentially catastrophic missile launch.

The missile is launched into space, targeting a spot in the Continental United States. This unexpected event triggers a race against time as both American and Soviet forces prepare for a potential nuclear conflict.

Amid the looming threat of nuclear war, American and Soviet agents form unexpected alliances. Collaborations emerge as both sides realize the severity of the situation and the necessity of unified efforts to prevent disaster.

Fitz-Hume and Millbarge join Generals Sline and Miegs at the W.A.M.P. bunker, where they uncover the deception behind their mission. They are astonished to find a covert black-ops laser designed to mimic Strategic Defense Initiative technology.

Grappling with guilt, Millbarge realizes he can alter the missile's course. Collaborating with spies and Soviet technicians, he successfully sends instructions to redirect the missile, preventing a disaster.

The W.A.M.P. bunker is invaded by U.S. Army Rangers, resulting in the capture of rogue military personnel. This unexpected turn of events brings the unauthorized operation to a culmination.

In a surprising twist, Millbarge, Fitz-Hume, and Boyer are positioned as nuclear disarmament negotiators. Their unique experiences and strategic thinking thrust them into a pivotal role in global diplomacy.

Now negotiating on the global stage, the trio faces high stakes in a diplomatic arena where their decisions could impact international security. Their ability to navigate complex relations is put to the ultimate test.
