Clothes make the superspy in this high-energy
action comedy.
Jimmy Tong (
Jackie Chan) is a well-meaning but clumsy New York City cab driver who is tapped by
Steena (
Debi Mazar), associate to multi-millionaire
Clark Devlin (
Jason Isaacs), for a new job as
Devlin's personal limo driver. After a mysterious accident lands
Devlin in the hospital,
Tong learns that his new boss has a secret -- when he's not wheeling and dealing in high finance,
Devlin is also a secret agent for the CSA, a top-level security agency. The secret to
Devlin's success as a spy is his trademark tuxedo, a suit which is loaded with special gadgets which turns him into a high-tech fighting machine. After
Tong dons the tuxedo and is transformed into a martial arts master, he takes over for
Devlin and discovers that the agent's injuries didn't happen by accident. As
Tong tries to chase down a handful of international super-villains bent on world conquest, he has to deal with
Devlin's new partner,
Del Blaine (
Jennifer Love Hewitt), a CSA rookie who is just as baffled by her new assignment as
Tong.
The Tuxedo marked the feature-film debut for director
Kevin Donovan, who had previously won international acclaim for his work in television commercials.
