  Maxwell "Max" Smart, an analyst for the top secret American intelligence agency, CONTROL, yearns to become a field agent like his idol, Agent 23. Despite top scores in the acceptance tests, Max is denied the promotion because the Chief of CONTROL feels that Max is too valuable as an analyst. Max goes for a walk, looking at Fang, a puppy in the pet store. A woman bumps into him. When CONTROL headquarters is attacked by the terrorist organization KAOS, almost all of CONTROL's agents' identities are exposed, leaving only Agent 99, the woman Max bumped into as a viable field operative, while the others are demoted to desk jobs. Max is therefore promoted to field agent as Agent 86, but the experienced 99 is reluctant to partner with him because of his clumsiness.
  On the plane, Max and 99 discuss their appearance changes, Max, a year ago was morbidly obese, and 99 was a blonde and is older than Max. Max is arrested after passengers believe he has a bomb (it's just chewing gum stuck to his shoe). During the attempt to parachute over a drop zone, Max opens the hatch prematurely, falling without a parachute. 99 attempts to save him, but Dalip, a KAOS agent almost foils their plan, had 99 not kissed him. The two infiltrate Krstic's mansion undercover as guests during a luxurious party, where they trace the nuclear material to a KAOS nuclear weapons factory disguised as a Moscow bakery, but when Krstic and his men corner them, Max is forced to shoot him. In the bakery, Max meets with KAOS boss Siegfried and his second-in-command, Shtarker, only to learn that a double-agent has compromised their identities.
  Max manages to escape capture and destroy the weapons factory, but during their escape, Max and 99 are confronted by Dalip. Recognizing Dalip's voice from his many hours listening to audio surveillance, Max manages to persuade Dalip to spare their lives. The Chief sends 23 to observe the clean-up of the factory, but KAOS sneaks the weapons out through the Moskva River, with 23 reporting that only a bakery had been destroyed. Realizing that Max was alone during his key discoveries, CONTROL believes Max to be the double-agent. 99, who has been gradually falling in love with Max, is heartbroken but takes Max into custody.
  Siegfried contacts the U.S. government and threatens to release nuclear weapon detonator codes to hostile countries unless he is paid a ransom of $200 billion, but the government does not take his threats seriously, despite the Chief's objections. In fact, he fights the vice-president to prove his point. To demonstrate they are serious, KAOS plans to plant a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. While Max is in a CONTROL holding cell, Dalip sends him a coded message via the radio show American Top 40 alerting him to Siegfried's plan. Max escapes and steals a car (a Sunbeam Tiger roadster, a car from the original TV series) but quickly runs out of gas. He manages to commandeer another car (a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, also from the original TV series), then gets a ride on a fighter jet, arriving in Los Angeles to unite with the Chief, 99, and 23, who have flown out to persuade the President to take the KAOS threat seriously.
  Max manages to convince 99 and the Chief that he is not the double-agent, and when his Geiger counter-equipped watch picks up traces of radiation from 23, they realize 23 is the real double-agent. 23 draws his gun, takes 99 hostage, and flees in a government-issue SUV. Max and the chief give chase in another government car, destroyed in a run through a golf course and into a store with a swordfish model, almost killing Chief, then a small plane, and Max manages to rescue 99, but in the struggle, the car is set on fire and forced onto railroad tracks. Max then kisses 23 to distract him, remembering 99's trick, but 99 and Max get caught in ropes. With Max wishing they had more time, he cuts 99 free, then himself, and the SUV collides with a freight train, killing Agent 23.
  99 examines 23's destroyed football, she recalled Max's last words, wishing for more time, he appears and they embrace. After analyzing 23's nuclear football, Max realizes that the bomb will be triggered by the final note of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". They rush to the Disney Hall, and Max tackles the elderly conductor just before the final note, saving the president and Los Angeles. Siegfried, despite his plan failing, is satisfied with Dalip's performance, and promises not to kill his wife in response, but insults her at the same time. In response, Dalip throws Siegfried into a river.
  Back in CONTROL headquarters, a party is held in Max's honor, where 99 gives him Fang, the puppy in the pet store window earlier. A new "employee" is harassed by two other agents who had tormented Max previously, but the new employee turns out to be Hymie, a superhuman robot agent built by Max's techie friends at CONTROL, Lloyd and Bruce. Max is afterwards given honors and gets his dream of becoming a real spy with agent 99 as his girlfriend. While leaving, Max attempts to fix the jammed door, much to 99's dismay and crushing himself into the door frame.
