2004, 100 minutes
Adventure is an attitude
Rogue CIA agent Victor Diaz (Keith Allen) has stolen a top secret mind-control device and Agent Cody Banks (Muniz) has to go undercover in London to get it back. Posing as a student at an elite boarding school registered in the summer music program to get close to his suspects, Cody has to keep the other kids from discovering his true identity while infiltrating covert hideouts, spying on his sinister target -- and going to class. With new gadgets and a wisecracking new handler named Derek (Anderson), Cody has to retrieve the device before the world's leaders fall under Diaz's control. Cody's cover is blown and he learns Emily (Spearritt), a member of the orchestra he has a crush on, is actually a British secret agent. In the end Diaz and his accomplice, Lord Kentworth, get Derek and most of the world leaders under control with the help of the director of the CIA, who is under mind control. Cody reveals the truth to the orchestra about his identity and tells them to keep performing to prevent the world leaders from leaving and going to a G7 conference in Buckingham Palace. The orchestra is forced to put on an impromtu performance but is able to hold the crowd there long enough for Cody to stop the bad guys. Derek starts beating Cody up, but Emily saves him and releases him from the mind control. Emily also frees the President while Cody and Derek free the CIA Director. Cody goes one on one against Diaz in the Queen's gift room and defeats him while Kentworth tries to escape and is stopped by his apparently senile butler. Cody, Derek, Emily and the orchestra are thanked for their work and its revealed that the butler was in fact Emily's handler undercover. Cody returns to the secret agent training camp that he was supposed to be at that Diaz used to run and Derek is given control of it as a reward for his work. Cody's parents pick him up at the end of the summer, none the wiser about his adventures. Cody's younger brother tries to eat a few of his explosive Mentos, but Cody tosses them into the pond where they explode harmlessly.
