Johnny English

He Knows No Fear

An accident prone MI-7 agent is on a mission to rescue Britain's crown jewels and save the country and the monarchy from a Machuavellian French business magnate
and is almost as quickly dispatched to six feet under.

Unfortunately for the British Secret Service, virtually every other able member of its esteemed ranks soon joins Agent Number One in the afterworld - nasty business, bombing a funeral.

Who could be behind such a diabolical plot? Perhaps the same twisted mind bent on stealing the Crown Jewels?

Now, there is only one man remaining who can even hope to protect his country, avenge the elimination of all of the Secret Service’s spies and uncover the fiend behind the fiendish plot to make off with the lasting symbols of the once supreme British empire, the Crown Jewels.

Enter Johnny English.

He knows no fear.

He knows no danger.

He knows nothing.

ROWAN ATKINSON, the brilliant physical comedian whose outrageous pratfalls and subversively innocent humor have made him a star in hilarious classics ranging from the cult U.K. series Blackadder to the worldwide hit Bean, is back on the big screen as the title character in the family comedy Johnny English—an office-bound junior intelligence worker suddenly thrust into the spotlight when the Crown Jewels are stolen from the Tower of London and a plot is uncovered that threatens world security.

A bit unseasoned but extremely enthusiastic, English is quickly outfitted with a highly-specialized automobile, armed with the ultimate in intelligence gadgetry and allowed highest access to the agency’s files. All of England’s hopes are resting on English.

He isn’t the best they have…he’s the only one left.

Starring along with Atkinson as Johnny English are international star NATALIE IMBRUGLIA as Special Agent Lorna Campbell, renowned comedian BEN MILLER as English’s sidekick, Bough, and multiple Academy Award nominee JOHN MALKOVICH as the very French and very crafty business magnate, Pascal Sauvage.

From Working Title Films (About a Boy, Bridget Jones’s Diary, Notting Hill, Four Wedding and a Funeral), Johnny English is a spy comedy with thrills, chills and surprises for the whole family. Directed by PETER HOWITT (Sliding Doors) from an original screenplay by NEAL PURVIS & ROBERT WADE and WILLIAM DAVIES, Johnny English is produced by TIM BEVAN, ERIC FELLNER and MARK HUFFAM. The film is distributed worldwide by Universal Pictures.
