In 1994, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis teamed up with director James Cameron for the action-comedy, True Lies. The movie told the story of a secret agent, who comes to discover his wife is on the verge of having an affair, all while he is trying to deal with a case involving terrorists.
Released to positive reviews, as well as a healthy box office, True Lies remains one of Arnie’s best-loved movies, as well as another sure-fire hit from Cameron! The film was praised for its action sequences, and its nods to the spy genre, as well as its comical script, which featured some great lines of dialogue!
