"True Lies" -- James Cameron's high-concept comedy/thriller of a fearless, globe-trotting, terrorist-battling secret agent (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who has his life turned upside down when he discovers his wife (Jamie Lee Curtis) might be having an affair with a used-car salesman while terrorists smuggle nuclear war heads into the United States.  Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy for Curtis.  (1994) (141 min.)
