Top Secret!

This uproarious comedy is a masterclass in movie references, delivering a riotous parody of classic films in the most absurd, laugh-out-loud manner imaginable. Nick Rivers (Val Kilmer), an archetypical 1950s rock ‘n roll sensation, embodies the spirit of icons like Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, and Buddy Holly, combining youthful exuberance with a charmingly clueless demeanor.

Invited to East Germany for a music festival, Nick is blissfully unaware that the nefarious “Nazi’s” are using the event as a facade for their sinister plans of global domination, seeking to divert the attention of NATO nations with the festive distractions. Amidst the chaos, he crosses paths with the enchanting Hillary (Lucy Gutteridge), who secretly works with the French Resistance, a delightfully bizarre group of freedom fighters boasting whimsically on-the-nose names like Chocolate Mousse (Eddie Tagoe) and Deja Vu (Jim Carter).

Through a series of slapstick misadventures, Nick gets himself into a whirlwind of trouble, culminating in a comically disastrous stint in jail. However, he’s eventually set free to take the stage at the festival, where the stakes rise. Tensions flare as Hillary’s former flame, Nigel (Christopher Villiers), resurfaces, flaunting his impressive physique and stirring up old feelings.

Will Nick’s affection for Hillary withstand the test of this unexpected reunion, and can he rise to the occasion to aid the resistance with his lively tunes and mesmerizing dance moves? As he contemplates whether he can charm his way into Hillary’s heart—while still performing his catchy hit “Tutti Frutti”—the audience is left on the edge of their seats, waiting for a climax that promises to be as side-splittingly funny as it is heartwarming.
