American Maxwell Smart works for a Government spy agency in an administrative capacity. When the agency's head office is attacked, the Chief decides to assign Maxwell as a spy and partners him with sexy Agent 99, much to her chagrin. The duo nevertheless set off to combat their attackers by first parachuting off an airplane and landing in Russian territory - followed closely by a over seven foot tall, 400 pound goon, known simply as Dalip. The duo, handicapped by Maxwell's antics, will eventually have their identities compromised, and may be chalked up as casualties while back in America their attackers have already planted a bomb that is set-up to explode in a concert.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Rachel McAdams were considered for the part of "Agent 99" before it went to Anne Hathaway.

Agent 99:
Are you staring at my butt?


Maxwell Smart:
No, no, I... I was, but I'm not... I'm staring again.

Revealing mistakes: When Siegfried's car is driving away from the Disney Hall at the end of the movie, the background keeps changing. First, they are on a street in an industrial zone. In the next shot, they are in the middle of the bridge. After that, they are driving through a neighborhood full of houses.
