Top Secret!

Top Secret! is a comedy directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker starring Val Kilmer, Lucy Gutteridge, Omar Sharif, Peter Cushing, Michael Gough and Jeremy Kemp . It is a parody of World War II movies and Elvis films.


The movie tells the story of Nick Rivers (Kilmer), an American pop singer (whose songs sound suspiciously like those of Elvis and The Beach Boys), who goes to East Germany to perform in a cultural festival. Whilst there, he becomes involved in a resistance movement, and helps the beautiful Hillary Flammond (Gutteridge) rescue her father (Gough), a brilliant scientist being held by the Germans and forced to build the deadly Polaris Mine.

The film also features short performances by Omar Sharif as Agent Cedric, and Peter Cushing (known for his extensive work in horror films, and as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars) as a slightly backwards bookstore proprietor.
