for Sebastian Crowe in Johnny English - The code of the past
Suggested by ai_casting
Johnny English lives in retirement as a security consultant and enjoys a quiet life. But his MI7 boss asks for his help when an ancient codex is stolen at an auction – a manuscript that holds the key to an ancient secret. Johnny discovers that the codex is part of a larger puzzle: a ‘shadow code’ hidden centuries ago by a legendary spy known as ‘The Shadow’. A worldwide scavenger hunt for artefacts, paintings and encrypted clues begins. In the process, he meets historian Dr Amelia Hart, who has discovered the remains of the organisation ‘The Guardians of the Shadow’. It turns out that the ‘Shadow Society’ is reviving itself to control the code and manipulate the world. During their journey through Europe and Asia, Johnny repeatedly finds himself in comical situations: he uses modern technology in historic buildings, misunderstands old espionage methods, and his awkward charm causes chaos. He learns that his grandfather was once part of the ‘Guardians’ and hid the shadow code to protect it from evil. A showdown ensues at the Scottish castle of the ‘Shadow Society’. Johnny, Amelia and their allies fight the villains while Johnny deciphers the last part of the code. With luck, unintentional cleverness and misunderstandings, he defeats the organisation and secures the code – and in the process discovers his own family history.
