Mr & Mrs Smith📺史密斯夫妇
关于“Mr & Mrs Smith”：
《史密斯夫妇》（英语：Mr. & Mrs. Smith，新加坡译《史密夫VS史密妻》，香港译《史密夫决战史密妻》，马来西亚、台湾译《史密斯任务》）是一部2005年美国喜剧动作片，由布莱德·彼特与安洁莉娜·裘莉领衔主演。
约翰是一名建筑公司高管，珍是一名技术支持顾问，他们在婚姻辅导中回答问题。他们结婚已有五到六年，但他们的婚姻现在正处于危机之中。他们谈到最初在哥伦比亚波哥大相遇的情形，声称为了避免被当地当局质疑而在一起；两人相爱并结婚。
实际上，约翰和珍都是熟练的外勤特工，分别为不同的合约杀手公司工作；他们都是各自领域中的佼佼者，擅长隐瞒真实职业。
史密斯夫妻居住在纽约郊区一栋宽敞的殖民复兴风格住宅，他们勉强与那些“传统”而富裕的邻居交往，以此维持他们的社交表象。在他们的掩护故事下，约翰和珍平衡著看似平凡的婚姻——几年后，由于与他们的秘密事业，双方都认为生活变得乏味和窒息。当他们被派去刺杀DIA囚犯本杰明“坦克”丹兹时，他们在工作中相遇，而行动也因此失败。
丹兹幸存下来，约翰和珍接到了相互杀死对方的任务。随著两人对彼此生命的攻击愈发激烈，他们之间的冲突最终演变成一场大型枪战，这场战斗几乎摧毁了他们的住所。在这场旗鼓相当的长时间战斗中，他们互相指著对方的头部拔枪。约翰拒绝开枪，并放下了枪；珍也发现自己无法射杀约翰，他们度过了一个充满激情的夜晚。
史密斯夫妇重燃的合作很快受到雇主合力消除这对夫妻的威胁，史密斯夫妇发现自己遭到一大群刺客的攻击。他们满是弹坑的房子被炸毁，史密斯夫妇偷走邻居的小型面包车，在争论各自的战斗风格和彼此发现的个人秘密时，成功摧毁追赶他们的装甲轿车。他们与约翰的好友兼同事艾迪会面，艾迪拒绝接受对他们两人各40万美元的悬赏，决定挽救他们的婚姻。
史密斯夫妇绑架了丹兹，将他从高安全监狱中带出来，用作谈判筹码。丹兹告诉他们，他只是一个诱饵，是两家雇主发现史密斯夫妇结婚后聘请的实习生，两家雇主希望史密斯夫妇会相互残杀。放弃各自的应急计划后，两人在一家家居装饰商店内共同抵御一群全副武装特工的突袭，最终成功抵御雇主的绞杀行动。影片以夫妻俩再次与婚姻辅导员会面结束，史密斯夫妇表示他们的婚姻正蓬勃发展。
