Johnny English Strikes Again
Rowan Atkinson returns to save the world, for the third time, as secret agent buffoon Johnny English. When a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all active undercover agents in Britain, English is the secret service’s last hope. Called out of retirement, and with few skills and analogue methods, he must overcome the challenges of modern technology to track down the hacker.
