Maxwell Smart, a highly intellectual but bumbling spy, working for the CONTROL agency, is tasked with preventing a terrorist attack from rival spy agency KAOS.
Maxwell was teamed up with Agent 99, a beautiful agent who previously went through surgery to change her appearance due to a mission that revealed her identity. Maxwell was chosen because he is the only agent so far (aside from agent 99) whose identity hasn’t been exposed.
Maxwell and Agent 99 went to Russia to prevent a terrorist attack from KAOS. Maxwell was the one who saw the nuclear bombs, and it was Agent 23 who cleaned it up. However, Agent 23 reported no weapons at all, so Maxwell was tagged as a double agent and imprisoned.
Why in his cell, Max listened to the radio and decoded a message – discovering that there would be a terrorist attack on an event the president would be attending. He escaped his cell and went to where Agent 99, Agent 23, and the chief is. Max tried to explain what was about to happen. Agent 99 and the manager believed him. They also discovered that Agent 23 has very high radioactivity (since Max has a gadget that can detect it.) Agent 99 and the Chief now believe that Max is innocent, and it is Agent 23 who framed them. Agent 99 was surprised that she didn’t see this coming since she dated Agent 23 before, and their relationship distracted her to the point that her identity got revealed during a mission.
After fighting with Agent 23, they were able to stop the bomb from exploding. It was Max who guessed where the bomb was, which was beneath the piano. Max was finally given the recognition he deserves, and he started dating Agent 99.
