Overview

Spy is a 2015 action comedy film written and directed by Paul Feig, starring Melissa McCarthy as Susan Cooper, a desk-bound CIA analyst who is forced to go into the field to stop a nuclear weapon from being sold. She is underestimated by everyone, but she is a brilliant spy. The film is a hilarious, action-packed, and surprisingly empowering comedy. It was a massive critical and commercial success, earning over $235 million on a $65 million budget. The film features a memorable performance by Jason Statham as a bumbling, arrogant agent who is constantly trying to steal Susan's thunder. The film is a feminist take on the spy genre, showing that a woman can be just as competent, just as funny, and just as tough as a man.
