My Mother the Spy is a hilarious comedy film that follows the journey of a young mother, Gwen (Jayne Brook), and her mother Patty (Dyan Cannon), who is a former CIA agent. Gwen is a single mother trying to raise her son while working as an accountant in a big corporation. Patty is living with her daughter and grandson to offer her help and support. However, what Gwen doesn't know is that her mother used to be a spy for the CIA during the Cold War era.

One day, Patty's past catches up with her when an old friend from her spy days, John (Kevin Kilner), contacts her and asks her to retrieve a top-secret microfilm, which contains information that could potentially reveal a conspiracy that would topple the United States government. Despite her daughter's objections, Patty agrees to the mission, and soon they find themselves in a web of deceit, danger, and espionage.

Gwen is initially shocked and dismayed when she learns about her mother's past, but she soon finds herself caught up in the thrilling adventure. Alongside her mother and John, Gwen travels to Paris to retrieve the microfilm, but things don't go as smoothly as planned. They find themselves in a series of dangerous situations, including being jailed by French police, being followed by Russian spies, and narrowly escaping assassination attempts.

As the trio navigates through their dangerous mission, they also have to deal with their own internal conflicts. Gwen struggles with the revelation of her mother's past and has to come to terms with the fact that her mother is not just an ordinary grandmother but a former spy with a knack for deception. Patty, on the other hand, has to confront a long-buried secret from her past and come clean with her daughter about her dangerous past. John, who is a charming and witty former spy, has to confront his feelings for Gwen and make peace with his past.

Throughout the film, the audience is treated to a series of hilarious and thrilling scenes, all culminating in an action-packed finale in which the group attempts to retrieve the microfilm.
