The Best Movies and TV Shows Like Johnny English Strikes Again

MI6 faces a catastrophic crisis when a sophisticated cyberattack exposes the identities of all active British undercover agents, forcing the Prime Minister to activate a roster of retired, analogue-era operatives. Among them is Johnny English, a bumbling geography teacher whose disastrous past missions are completely overshadowed by his unwavering patriotism and absolute lack of self-awareness. Armed only with his obsolete gadgets and his perpetually terrified loyal assistant, Bough, Johnny is dispatched to France to uncover the elusive mastermind behind the digital chaos.Upon arriving in the French Riviera, Johnny's unorthodox methods immediately cause chaos. His primary suspect is Ophelia Delamorte, a mysterious and alluring woman who is secretly a Russian spy working for the mastermind. Johnny’s investigation is further complicated by his utter disdain for modern technology, leading him to reject smartphones, crash a luxury sports car, and accidentally ingest dangerous behavioral enhancement pills disguised as breath mints. These pills leave him in a state of hyper-confident, erratic agitation that causes him to disrupt a high-society gala and mistakenly suspect an innocent couple of villainy.Meanwhile, Britain’s desperate Prime Minister, facing immense political pressure, eagerly relies on billionaire tech mogul Jason Volta. Volta has offered to deploy his revolutionary data-mining algorithm to solve the nation’s infrastructure and security crises. However, Johnny deduces that Volta is the true cyber-terrorist, using the algorithm as a Trojan horse to blackmail world leaders attending an upcoming G12 summit and seize global data monopolies.Lacking hard proof and repeatedly dismissed by his superiors who are enamored with Volta’s corporate charm, Johnny refuses to yield. He teams up with Ophelia, who has grown disillusioned with Volta's megalomaniacal cruelty and switches her allegiance to aid the British agent. Together, they infiltrate Volta’s heavily fortified Scottish castle stronghold, where the villain is preparing to launch the final phase of his global domination plot.What follows is a chaotic series of comedic and high-stakes confrontations. Utilizing an antique sword, a malfunctioning virtual reality headset, and a handful of antiquated explosives, Johnny inadvertently dismantles Volta’s server room. Though his tactics are entirely accidental, he manages to broadcast Volta’s confession to the gathered world leaders. Volta attempts to escape via helicopter, but Johnny—wearing a magnetic suit that accidentally attracts every piece of metal in the vicinity—brings the aircraft down. Saving the day through sheer, confounding luck, Johnny is hailed as a hero once again, proving that sometimes, absolute technological ignorance is the ultimate weapon against digital tyranny.
