Short description

After five (or six) years of vanilla-wedded bliss, ordinary suburbanites John and Jane Smith are stuck in a huge rut. Unbeknownst to each other, they are both coolly lethal, highly-paid assassins working for rival organisations. When they discover they're each other's next target, their secret lives collide in a spicy, explosive mix of wicked comedy, pent-up passion, nonstop action and high-tech weaponry.

What's left behind the scenes

In order to obtain an acceptable rating for a film of this kind (PG-13), the filmmakers had to cut a bedroom scene between the characters of Pitt and Jolie.
One of Mr. Smith's victims – Benjamin – prominently wears a t-shirt with the title of the film "Fight Club" (1999) at the beginning of the film, in which Brad Pitt played one of the main roles.
Brad Pitt left the project after Nicole Kidman departed. However, as soon as Angelina Jolie agreed to the role, the actor reconfirmed his participation.
The film contains elements of the series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (1996) and Alfred Hitchcock's eccentric comedy "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (1941).
In the midst of filming, Pitt left the project for three months to star in the movie 'Ocean's Twelve' (2004).
Filming took place in San Marino, California.

Nicole Kidman was the first choice for the role of Mrs. Smith.
