The Jackpot! (original title La Totale!) is a 1991 French action comedy movie directed by Claude Zidi. François Voisin (Thierry Lhermitte) is a super agent of a secret service but his family is convinced that he is a humble employee in telecommunication company. Suddenly François finds out that his wife Hélène (Miou-Miou), bored with monotonous life, meets a mysterious man who poses himself as a secret agent...

In 1994 the film was remade as True Lies. The remake is a much more known movie than the original one.
