The Man Who Knew Too Little is a 1997 feature film based on the novel Watch That Man by Robert Farrar, directed by Jon Amiel.
Wallace Ritchie flies to England to spend his birthday with his brother, James. James has business guests coming over and must find something to occupy his brother until dinner's over.
Wallace ends up taking part in the "Theatre Of Life," which promises to treat the participant as a character in a crime drama. Trouble begins when Wallace is mistaken for a real spy and shoots a man.
Now he's tangled up in a plot to kill Russian dignitaries on the eve of the signing of an important peace agreement.
For him, it's all an act. But to the men who want a second Cold War, Wallace is public enemy number one.
Tagline: He's on a mission so secret, even he doesn't know about it.
