Harry Tasker leads a double life, performing covert missions for the U.S government under a counter-terrorism task force called "The Omega Sector" using the cover of a traveling computer salesman. Albert "Gib" Gibson and Faisal assist him in these missions under the command of Spencer Trilby. However, Harry's wife, Helen, and his daughter, Dana, believe he is a boring computer salesman who does a lot of "corporate" travel. Harry's latest mission in Switzerland reveals the existence of a Persian terrorismorganization group known as the Crimson Jihad, led by Salim Abu Aziz. Harry suspects that antiques dealer Juno Skinner has ties to Aziz. After visiting her, Harry is chased by Aziz's men through a shopping mall and a large hotel, meanwhile missing the birthday party that his wife and daughter have arranged for him.

Harry plans to surprise Helen the next day at her office to take her out to lunch but overhears her talking to a man named Simon. He uses his connections in Omega Section to learn that Simon is a used car salesman, pretending to be a covert agent to flirt with Helen. Harry and other Omega agents, disguised, kidnap Helen while she is at Simon's trailer while frightening Simon to stay away from her. Harry, using a voice masking device, interrogates Helen and learns she sought adventure with Harry gone all the time. Harry arranges for Helen to participate in a staged spy mission, where she is to seduce a mysterious agent in his hotel room (in actuality, Harry himself, who hopes to surprise Helen) and plant a tracking bug on him. However, Aziz' men burst in, kidnap both of them, and take them to an island in the Florida Keys.

Aziz reveals he possesses small nuclear warheads hidden inside antique statues shipped by Juno and plans to detonate one to demonstrate his power, before ordering his men to torture the two. Harry, under a truth serum, reveals his double life to Helen but breaks free and rescues her. They secretly watch as Aziz prepares to detonate one of the warheads on the island in 90 minutes, take one of the warheads into downtown Miami by helicopter, and transport the remaining missiles by truck into the US over the unguarded Overseas Highway. Harry leaves Helen in a safe place as he attacks Aziz' men, but Helen is captured by Juno and taken with the convey on the Overseas Highway. Harry is rescued by Gib and other Omega Sector operatives who had pinpointed the island's location using a tracking bug planted earlier in Helen's purse by Harry and Gib. Assisted by two U.S. Marine Harrier jets, the agents in a helicopter pursue the terrorist convey, destroying part of the bridge to stop the trucks. Harry rescues Helen from Juno's limo before it falls over the destroyed section. The jets return to the mainland before the first bomb goes off, while Harry and Helen passionately kiss.

After the detonation Harry learns from Gib that Aziz and his men have taken control of a downtown Miami skyscraper and have kidnapped Dana, threatening to detonate the second bomb in downtown Miami. Harry commandeers one of the jump jets to reach the skyscraper quickly, leaving Helen on the Highway barefoot and worried. Faisal poses as part of a requested camera crew for Aziz to make his demands, providing enough distraction for Dana to steal the control key and flee the room. Aziz chases Dana onto an overhead crane while Harry arrives. Using the Harrier's ability to hover, Harry is able to rescue Dana from the crane but Aziz also falls onto the plane. During the encounter Harry banks the craft, causing Aziz to slip off the plane and become entangled on one of the plane's missiles. Harry fires the missile through the now-empty skyscraper, destroying a helicopter with Aziz' reinforcements and naturally killing Aziz. Harry, Helen, and Dana are safely reunited.

A year later, the Tasker's family integrity has been restored; Harry is able to balanced his career and quality times with his family, and Helen now also works for Omega Sector. Harry and Helen are called to embark on a new mission together, where they encounter "Simon" again, who is a waiter serving champagne and telling a female attendee at the event that he is actually a secret agent on a mission. Using her new skills, Helen intimidates Simon into leaving, just before a tango begins with Harry and Helen taking their places to complete their mission.
