Top Five Fictional Secret Service Agents

The United States Secret Service is a very specific law enforcement agency. Most everyone knows that Secret Service agents are assigned to protect the President of the United States. However, although that is their main objective, it is not their only jurisdiction. The agency was actually founded to combat widespread counterfeiting after the American Civil War. They also have jurisdiction over all sorts of financial crimes and even missing and exploited children. Still, protecting the President and other government officials is their bread and butter. Cinematically, the Secret Service is usually used for action thrillers, but every so often, they can sneak in a little comedy. Here are the top 5 best secret service agents.

Mike Banning from Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

2013 was the year that terrorists took over the White House at the movie theater. It happened twice. Once, through Roland Emmerich’s goofy Bílý dům dolů and again in Antoine Fuqua’s far superior Olympus Has Fallen. Gerard Butler plays Mike Banning, a disgraced Secret Service agent who used to be a member of the Presidential Guard. However, as fate would have it, he finds himself trapped inside a besieged White House. What follows is a hard-edged, R-rated, Die Hard in the White House thriller. Mike Banning is a dangerous man, and terrorists have infiltrated one of the most sacred, secure buildings in the world. He holds nothing back as he mows through the perpetrators without mercy. The film is incredibly suspenseful and fun.

Duane Stevenson in Dave (1993)

So the Secret Service is tasked with protecting the president at all costs. But what if the man in the Oval Office is only pretending to be the president? That is the dilemma for Agent Duane Stevenson in 1993’s Dave. Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) was tasked with doubling for President Bill Mitchell after an event. However, when President Mitchell has a massive stroke, Chief of Staff Bob Alexander (Frank Langella) and Press Secretary Alan Reed (Kevin Dunn) decide to keep Dave around. It is a farce, but a wonderful one. If this movie were made in the 40s, it would definitely have been made by Frank Capra instead of Ivan Reitman. Dave is always trying to figure out Duane, who is always there and never showing any emotion. Dave feels compelled to break down his wall of professionalism because, after all, Duane is there to save his life. The strike up a lovely friendship (enjoy the discussion of the sweater vest) but it all pays off with their last exchange of the film.

Frank Horrigan in In the Line of Fire (1993)

Having Wolfgang Petersen, Clint Eastwood, and John Malkovich in a Presidential assassination movie was brilliant. Eastwood plays Agent Frank Horrigan. We meet this grizzled old Secret Service agent while he is investigating some counterfeiters. We soon learn that Frank is the only remaining agents that were tasked with protecting President Kennedy in 1963. A madman named Booth contacts Frank and informs him that he plans to kill the current president. Because of the unique position Frank is put in, he asks to be placed back on Presidential Protection detail. The cat & mouse game between Eastwood’s Frank and Malkovich’s Booth is extraordinary. The film is not as high octane as Olympus klesla or Vyhlídka , but it is no less exciting.

Thomas Barnes in Vantage Point (2008)

In 2008, Director Pete Travis released a clever thriller called Vyhlídka . Emulating Akira Kurosawa’s Rašomon , the film tells the story of an attempt on the President’s life at an international summit. William Hurt portrays President Henry Ashton who is attending the summit in Salamanca, Spain. Upon reaching the podium, he is immediately shot twice. Soon thereafter, a large explosion in the square kills dozens more. It is an incredible 23-minute sequence of events, and Vyhlídka tells the same sequence from six different points of view. One of those points of view is through veteran Secret Service agent, Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid). Once President Ashton is shot, Agent Barnes and his partner, Agent Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) spring into action. The way Barnes sees what others do not see and acts in ways others are not willing to act is nothing short of inspiring. That look on his face in the press van when he sees something surprising tells an entire story in itself. As the other points of view come and go, Agent Barnes seems to evolve from an efficient Secret Service agent to a near superhero.

Doug Chesnic in Guarding Tess (1994)

The chemistry between Nicholas Cage’s Agent Doug Chesnic and Shirley MacLaine’s Tess Carlisle is pitch perfect. It is easy to go as far and say that it is the best Secret Service relationship in cinematic history. Tess Carlisle is the widow of a former President and it is Agent Chesnic’s duty to protect her. For the past three years, Tess has been trying the patience of the ultra-professional agent. She treats him more like a servant and less like a protector. However, Agent Chesnic puts up with it due to his fierce loyalty to Tess’s late husband. If Cage’s and MacLaine’s relationship were not so perfectly realized in the delightful Hlídá Tess, the absurd kidnapping plot that occurs would have ruined the movie. However, since we grow to love these two characters so much, we are really invested in Tess’s safety and Doug’s need to save her.

1. James Bond (1962-)

Shaken but not stirred, often imitated but never bettered. Since his big screen debut in Dr. No, James Bond has formed part of the cultural landscape–his choice of clothing, taste in booze, and witticisms are recognized (and parodied) the world over. For more than 50 years, Bond has embodied the romance of being a secret agent while the best films have brought out more than a hint of its dark side, too. Sean Connery gave us the flinty streak present in Ian Fleming’s novels, even as the later films continuously upped the one-liners and action set-pieces. Like any spy worth his salt, Bond has survived by taking on different forms: the imposing, rugged Connery, the urbane, laidback Roger Moore, the introspective, street-tough Daniel Craig.

Unlike the movies adapted from the novels by John Le Carré or Len Deighton, Bond deals with the seductive fantasy of spy craft rather than the mundane, soul-sapping reality. But therein lies Bond’s almost universal appeal: 007’s stock in trade may be death and destruction, but the glamorous circles in which he moves are a world away from the desk jobs, coffee machines, and daily grinds of we ordinary mortals.

The Top Eight Secret Service Movies

They’ve got one of the toughest and most important jobs in the world, but have you ever noticed how few movies there actually are about Secret Service agents? It’s one of the most inherently dramatic occupations you can have, entrusted with the security of the most powerful human being in the world, defending them from threats both foreign and domestic. And yet while the Secret Service makes a cameo in practically every film where the President of the United States shows up, there are only a handful of movies that place these American heroes front and center, or at least in a prominent supporting role.

Tento víkend je ve znamení vydání Olympus klesla, which stars Gerard Butler as the only Secret Service agent in a White House overrun with North Korean terrorists, and you’ll have to wait for our review to find out if it’s one of the good ones. Until then, why not get warmed up with Crave Online‘s picks for The Eight Best Secret Service Movies Ever Made.

Best Secret Service Movies

Yes, only eight. It’s not our fault Vražda v 1600 nasát. Proof positive that there aren’t very many Secret Service movies, and even fewer good ones: první Kid actually eked its way onto our list of Projekt Best Secret Service Movies Ever Made. první Kid hails from that brief period in the 1990s when standup comedian Sinbad was actually allowed to star in movies, and it’s one of only two decent films that he ever did. (Nejvnitřnější wasn’t all that bad either.) Sinbad stars as Sam Simms, a Secret Service Agent who gets booted off of POTUS detail and demoted to guarding the President’s son, aka “The First Kid,” played by Brock Pierce. Along the way he becomes a surrogate father figure, because that’s the kind of movie this is. první Kid may be beyond clichéd, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Mostly it’s just harmless, heartwarming family mischief from director David M. Evans (Sandlot). Kevin Costner was one of the biggest actors in the world when he starred in Bodyguard, alongside newcomer Whitney Houston, who made her feature film debut as a pop star with a deadly stalker. Costner plays Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent now reduced to celebrity bodyguard, but who maintains his discipline until he (gasp!) falls in love with his client. Bodyguard isn’t all that amazing a movie (we also dropped it down a few slots because it’s not about an active-duty Secret Service Agent), but it was an enormous hit: Bodyguard was the second highest grossing film of 1992, behind Disney’s Aladdin, and still boasts the best-selling soundtrack of all time (and fourth best-selling album overall). And to think, the studios rejected Bodyguard a reported sixty-seven times, going back the 1970s, when Steve McQueen was originally slated to star opposite Diana Ross. Back when Nicolas Cage was best known for comedies like Pomatenec a Líbánky v Las Vegas, he co-starred with Shirley MacLaine in an excellent little comedy called Hlídá Tess. MacLaine plays former First Lady Tess Carlisle, who requests that her long-suffering bodyguard Doug Chesnic, played by Cage, be assigned to her permanently. Tess drives Doug nuts with her nutty demands, but when she’s kidnapped, he discovers just how much he cared about her all along. Hlídá Tess is a trifle, but it’s a well-made trifle with great chemistry between Cage and MacLaine, and is still one of Cage’s funniest comedy movies. A gimmick movie, but a really good one, Vyhlídka tells the story of a presidential assassination from six different points of view, each overlapping story revealing new information about the others until ultimately, the entire truth is revealed. William Hurt plays the President of the United States, and Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox play the Secret Service Agents on the hunt for his killer. Sigourney Weaver, Forest Whitaker and Last Stand’s Eduardo Noriega fill out the cast, but revealing what exactly parts they have to play would ruin Pete Travis’s many twists and turns. Vyhlídka doesn’t amount to terribly much, but it’s a clever thriller from any angle. Kevin Kline stars in this Capraesque comedy classic from director Ivan Reitman, about the owner of a temp agency who just happens to look exactly like the President of the United States, and who winds up taking his place when the real President suffers a stroke. Kline is wonderful in both roles, and although the film is a little sentimental by today’s jaded standards, the fantasy that a good person could turn America around because they’re inexperienced at politics is at least an innocent one. Dave was a breakout role for Ving Rhames, who stole most of his scenes as Secret Service Agent Duane Stevenson, who likes the fake president but isn’t sure if he’d actually take a bullet for him. Rhames of course went on to co-star in Pulp Fiction the following year, and the rest is history. The President’s daughter has been abducted by a sex slavery ring, and the Secret Service enlists a Delta Force Operative played by Val Kilmer to help find her. The first catch is, they only have two days to find her before the media realizes she’s gone, and unintentionally alerts the kidnappers to her real identity. The second catch is, the President might not actually want her back. Sparťan isn’t as roundabout as David Mamet films usually are, relying more on old-fashioned suspense as Kilmer comes ever closer to the President’s daughter, played by a then-unknown Kristen Bell. But that doesn’t make it any less exciting and unexpected. Sparťan is one of Val Kilmer’s better movies, and a particularly underrated entry in David Mamet’s oeuvre. William Peterson and John Pankow are Secret Service Agents on the hunt for a counterfeiter played by the ever-flamboyant Willem Dafoe. Peterson will stop at nothing to avenge the death of his former partner, challenging Pankow’s loyalty as Peterson slips ever further off the edge into vigilantism. Seen by some as an unofficial double feature with William Friedkin’s earlier crime saga Francouzská spojka, Jeho Žít a zemřít v LA boasts the same moral ambiguity and a comparably exhilarating – some might even say superior – car chase between our heroes and an unexpectedly well organized crime ring with… Oh, let’s just call it a secret. Žít a zemřít v LA is stylish, exciting and dramatic as all hell. One of the best thrillers of the 1990s, a decade with no shortage of great thrillers, V řadě ohně stars Clint Eastwood as Frank Horrigan, a Secret Service Agent haunted by memories of the JFK assassination, when he failed to save the President’s life. Frank finally has an opportunity to make amends when a former CIA agent played by John Malkovich threatens to kill the current Commander-in-Chief. Frank gets himself assigned to the President’s detail, overcoming his age and his enemy’s genius to save the day. Wolfgang Peterson’s thriller is the definition of slick, with a taut screenplay and a spectacular cast – Malkovich even got an Oscar nomination – transforming V řadě ohně into a modern classic, and our pick for the best Secret Service movie ever made.
