OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies is a 2006 French retro spy spoof starring Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo, directed by Michel Hazanavicius. It reimagines the original OSS 117 series, meant to be serious spy films, as spoofs of spy films of the era. In 1955, secret agent OSS 283 Jack Jefferson was killed in Cairo. Headquarters in Paris sends its agent OSS 117 to Egypt to investigate the events. OSS 117 pokes a hornet's nest on the ground as the British, Soviets, and Egyptians fight over the Suez Canal. OSS 117 receives support from the Egyptian Larmina, who worked for Jack, who is then confronted with the seductive princess Al Tarouk and with the underground movement of the "Eagles of Cheops", who want to wage a holy war.
This film is followed by a 2009 sequel, OSS 117: Lost in Rio, with Dujardin and Hazanavicius returning. Dujardin, Bejo, and Hazanavicius would reunite in 2011 for The Artist.
