Johnny English Reborn is a British action comedy film parodying the James Bond secret agent genre. The film is the sequel to Johnny English (2003), and is written by and starring Rowan Atkinson reprising his role as the title character and directed by Oliver Parker.
PLOT
English attempts to stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7's top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect the world.
