Plot

edit

To his wife Helen and his daughter Dana, Harry Tasker is a computer hardware salesman often away on business trips, but he is actually a secret agent for Omega Sector, a top-secretU.S.counterterrorismagency. Harry, along with his teammates Albert "Gib" Gibson and Faisil, infiltrates a party inSwitzerlandhosted by billionaire Jamal Khaled. At the party, Harry meets Juno Skinner, who turns out to not only be Khaled's art dealer, but someone paid by "CrimsonJihad",a terrorist faction led by Salim Abu Aziz. Undercover as a potential buyer, Harry visits her, leading the terrorists to attempt to kill him. Harry fights them off but loses Aziz in a pursuit. As a result, Harry misses the birthday party that Helen and Dana planned for him.

The next day, Harry goes to Helen's office to reconcile with her, but instead overhears her secretly arranging to meet someone called Simon. Suspecting Helen is having an affair, Harry uses Omega Sector resources to learn that Simon is a used car salesman, who pretends to be a covert agent to seduce women. In disguise, Harry and other Omega agents arrest Helen and Simon. After terrifying Simon into keeping away from Helen, Harry and Gib interrogate her using a voice masking device in a secret facility. They learn she is suffering amidlife crisisand is desperately seeking adventure. Harry thus arranges for Helen to participate in a staged spy mission, where she is to seduce a mysterious figure (who is actually Harry) and plant a bug in his hotel room.

However, Aziz's men burst in, kidnap the couple and take them to an island in theFlorida Keys.On the island, Harry learns Crimson Jihad paid Juno to help the group smuggle fourMIRVnuclear warheadsby hiding them in antique statues. Aziz demands that the U.S. remove their forces from thePersian Gulfor he will weekly detonate a warhead in a major U.S. city. He will also detonate one warhead on the uninhabited island to demonstrate Crimson Jihad's resolve. Before being tortured with Helen, Harry is administered atruth serumand confesses his double life to her. They escape and learn that one warhead is set to explode in 90 minutes while the others are loaded onto vehicles to be taken into the U.S. via theOverseas Highway,thus bypassing U.S.Customs.In the ensuing melee, Harry and Helen kill many of the terrorists, while Aziz gets away with one of the warheads on a helicopter.

Helen is caught by Juno and taken in a limousine following the convoy. Gib and other Omega agents pick up Harry. They use twoMarineHarrier jump jetsto intercept the convoy by destroying part of theSeven Mile Bridge.Harry rescues Helen from the limo before it falls off the highway, killing Juno. The warhead left on the island detonates without killing anyone.

Harry discovers that Aziz and his men are holding Dana hostage in aMiamiskyscraper and are threatening to detonate their last warhead. Harry commandeers one of the jets to rescue her. Faisil gets into the building by posing as a news cameraman. Dana steals the missile control key and flees to the roof, while Faisil kills several of Aziz's men. Aziz pursues Dana onto a tower crane, and then Harry arrives. Harry rescues Dana, and after a struggle with Aziz, he has him ensnared on the end of one of the plane's missiles, which Harry fires at a terrorist helicopter, killing Aziz and the remnants of Crimson Jihad. Harry, Helen and Dana are safely reunited.

A year later, Harry and Helen are working together as Omega agents. While on a mission at a formal party, they encounter Simon, working as a waiter and pretending to be a spy. Simon runs away in fear after they reveal themselves and threaten to kill him. Harry and Helen dance thetango,while Gib pleads for them to take their work seriously.

Production

Arnold Schwarzenegger stated that while filming a scene with a horse, a camera boom hit the horse and "it went crazy, spinning and rearing" near a drop of 90 feet (27 m). Schwarzenegger quickly slid off the horse and a stuntman caught him; he concluded, "[this is] why I will always love stunt people".[7]Art Malik said he was drawn to the script's "pantomimequality” and the chance to work with director James Cameron.[8]Costing $100[2][3]–120[4][9]million to produce,True Lieswas the first film with a production budget of over $100 million.[10]It was filmed over a seven-month schedule.[4]

Eliza Dushkualleged that while filmingTrue Liesat the age of twelve, she wassexually molestedby the film's stunt coordinator,Joel Kramer.According to Dushku, soon after that, an adult friend of hers confronted Kramer on set, and that same day, Dushku was injured during a stunt and several of her ribs were broken, while Kramer was responsible for her safety.[11]Kramer has denied the accusation of sexual misconduct.[12]Dushku's co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, and director James Cameron all voiced support and admiration for Dushku's bravery.[13][14][15]

Of the many locations that were used in the film, theRosecliffMansion was used for the ballroom tango scenes in the beginning of the film and the exterior of the Swiss chalet that Harry Tasker infiltrates isOchre Court.[16]The ballroom dancing scene that closes the film, as well as the scenes in the lobby of the fictional Hotel Marquis in Washington, take place in the Crystal Ballroom of theMillennium Biltmore Hotelin downtown Los Angeles.[17]The outdoor structures used by Aziz's smuggling ring as a base of operations were a series of custom made Alaska Structures fabric buildings, leased to the production crew during filming.[18]

It was during the production ofTrue Liesin 1993 when Cameron would also first meet his futureTitanicandAvatarfilm seriesco-producerJon Landau,who Cameron stated in July 2024 was "the studio 'suit' assigned to overseeTrue Lies."[19]In the time following the production ofTrue Lies,Landau would leave Fox to join Cameron's production companyLightstorm.[19]

Critical reception

edit

On thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,the film holds an approval rating of 70% based on 57 reviews, and an average score of 6.60/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "If it doesn't reach the heights of director James Cameron's and star Arnold Schwarzenegger's previous collaborations,True Liesstill packs enough action and humor into its sometimes absurd plot to entertain ".[27]OnMetacritic,the film has aweighted averagescore of 63 out of 100 based on reviews from 17 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[28]Audiences polled byCinemaScoregave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[29]

Roger Ebertof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film three stars out of four, writing, "It's stuff like that we go to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies for, andTrue Lieshas a lot of it: laugh-out-loud moments when the violence is so cartoonish we don't take it seriously, and yet are amazed at its inventiveness and audacity. "He wrote that he found the plot" perfunctory ", but praised the film's stunts and special effects.[30]

The film received criticism for its portrayal ofMiddle Easternersand its treatment of female characters.[31]John Simon of theNational Reviewcriticized the plot line of the hero character (Schwarzenegger) using his agency's resources to stalk and frighten his wife as cruel and misogynistic.[32]In a negative review,Kenneth Turanof theLos Angeles Timeswrote:

Taken individually, the cruder and childish things about this film, its determination to use caricatured unshaven Arabs as terrorists, the pleasure it takes in continually mortifying a weasely used-car salesman (Bill Paxton) in the most personal ways, might be overlooked, but added together they leave a sour taste.[33]

SomeArabsandMuslimsperceived the film as conveying stronganti-Araboranti-Muslimprejudice,[34][35]with some Arab-American advocacy groups calling for its banning in Arab countries.[36][37]

In a 2022 retrospective review, Polish writer Jacek Szafranowicz called the film "a masterpiece of cinematic fun", noting that the collaboration between the director and its main star "deserves a golden medal".[38]Commenting on the state ofblockbusterfilms, Scott Tobias ofThe GuardianandThe A.V. Clubwrote, "True Liesis the strange case of a film that's alternately retrograde, forward-looking, and thoroughly of its time. For better or worse, it's a marker of how the Hollywood action blockbuster had advanced in 1994, as well as a commentary (intended or not) on the troubled state of American masculinity, marital relationships, and lingering racial attitudes. "[39]

Censorship

edit

On October 1, 1994,True Lieswas banned from Indonesian movie theaters due to the film spawning controversy that focused on Muslim leaders insulting Islam and portraying themselves as religious extremists. According to the Council of Muslim Scholars, it led people to hate Arab terrorists defending the interests of some Islamic nations, but justified American terrorism. Earlier that year, officials had already bannedSchindler's Listfrom the country because it contained too much violence and nudity.[56]

Cancelled sequel

edit

In April 1997, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnold met with Cameron and discussed the possibility of an eventualTrue Liessequel, which would also bring back Curtis in her role. At the time, Cameron was busy working onTitanic.[64][65]Following the release ofTitanicin late 1997, Cameron was planning to begin work on aTrue Liessequel early the following year. Schwarzenegger and Arnold were expected to reprise their roles.[66]Cameron conducted a search for a writer to work onTrue Lies 2.In August 1999, Cameron and20th Century Foxwere negotiating to haveJeff Eastinwrite the script under Cameron's supervision.[65]At the time, the film was being planned for a mid-2001 release, with Cameron expected to direct it.[67]By the end of 1999, there was the possibility that filming would begin in the third quarter of 2000.[68]However, development of the script was ongoing as of June 2000. Cameron planned to produceTrue Lies 2with Fox, but was undecided at that time on whether he would also direct it, as he wanted to wait until the script was complete.[69][70][71]Eastin worked with Cameron on the project for approximately a year and a half,[72]and Schwarzenegger and Arnold liked Eastin's script.[73][74]

By March 2001, the script had been completed, and Curtis was confirmed to reprise her role alongside Schwarzenegger and Arnold.[75]Following theSeptember 11 attacks,Schwarzenegger said in January 2002, "We'll shoot it next year. We have a good script. There does need to be some changes because it deals with some terrorist act of some sort. But it's pretty much done."[76]Later in 2002, Cameron said the film would not be made following theSeptember 11 attacks:"Terrorism is no longer something to take as lightly as we did in the first one. I just can't see it happening given the current world climate."[77][78]

In June 2003, Schwarzenegger said that after the attacks, "Cameron was worried because there's an airplane scene – a terrific airplane scene – that didn't have anything to do with the terrorism that we had in 9/11, but it was a great fight scene inside the plane while the plane goes down and this kind of thing. It was a very important moment in the movie, and he felt like he can't do that and therefore has to rewrite it... These things take a long time."[79]The following month, Curtis said the film would never be made due to theSeptember 11 attacks:"Terrorists aren't funny anymore. They never were, but, it was distant enough from our psyche that we could make it funny. It'll never be funny again. I just think that that is over, that kind of humor is over."[80]Eastin citedSchwarzenegger's 2003 electionas California governor as another reason thatTrue Lies 2did not get made.[72]However, Arnold remained optimistic that the film would be made.[b]

In 2005, Arnold said he had met with Cameron, Curtis, Paxton, and Dushku to discussTrue Lies 2.Arnold said the project would include the return of Schwarzenegger and that filming would begin once his role as California governor was concluded.[81]Cameron said in 2009 that there were no plans to make the film,[83][85][86]and Curtis, in 2019, reiterated her previous comments: "I don't think we could ever do anotherTrue Liesafter 9/11. "[87]Art Malik concurred, saying during the time ofTrue Lies' filming, "there was an element of fanaticism brewing and anti-West feeling going on. But I don't think any of us took any of it as seriously as we had to after 9/11. I think one of the reasons for that is probably the reasonTrue Lies 2was never made.”[8]

In the 2005 filmThe Kid & I,Tom Arnold plays a fictional character based on himself. In that film, the character had starred inTrue Liesand is pursued by a fan and teams up withHenry WinklerandLinda Hamiltonto make a sequel; Schwarzenegger and Curtis cameo as themselves.
