Che succede se un prototipo di bombardiere invisibile cade in mano a uno dei più loschi trafficanti d'armi del pianeta, l'ungherese Gundars, dispostissimo a venderlo al miglior offerente? Si cerca ovviamente l'aiuto di Alex, miglior spia statunitense in servizio. Ma per coprire l'operazione cosa di meglio di organizzare un incontro di boxe tra il campione del mondo dei medi Kelly e un avversario europeo? Peccato che spia e pugile all'inizio non possano soffrirsi. Ma l'amore per l'avventura e per l'America avrà la meglio di (quasi) ogni difficoltà. Se già la trama vi sembra piuttosto stupida, rassicuratevi: il film è anche peggio. Betty Thomas, che pure diresse il discreto "Private Parts", non ha assolutamente il polso per la commedia d'azione.
