The film, directed by James Mangold, is Cruise and Diaz's second on-screen collaboration following the 2001 film Vanilla Sky.[5] Diaz plays June Havens, a classic car restorer who unwittingly gets caught up with the eccentric secret agent Roy Miller, played by Cruise, who is on the run from the CIA.The film's investors offset funding costs by paying Cruise a lower advance fee and providing him a share of revenue only after the financiers were repaid their investment in the production.[6] Filming took place in several locations, mainly in several cities located in Massachusetts, while other scenes were filmed in Spain and parts of Austria.
Knight and Day was released in the United States on June 24, 2010. The film received mixed reviews from film critics[7][8] and was a success at the box office, grossing over $261 million worldwide.
The film was officially remade in Bollywood with Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles titled Bang Bang! and released on 2 October 2014.[9][10]
Miller reunites with Feck and they, with Havens, get on a train heading for Austria. Havens is attacked by Bernard (Falk Hentschel),
an assassin sent by Quintana to retrieve the Zephyr and Feck, and kill
Miller. But Miller and Havens fight him and he is killed by another
train. Arriving at Salzburg, the three check into a hotel. Miller later leaves to meet with Naomi (Gal Gadot),
Quintana's henchwoman, to make a deal. Havens follows him and listens
to Miller's conversation, mistaking that he doesn’t care for her. She is
then picked up by Fitzgerald and C.I.A. Director Isabel George (Viola Davis),
who reveal that Miller was using her at the airport to smuggle in the
Zephyr when they bumped into each other and convince her that he doesn't
love her. They also tell her that Miller is the traitor and plans to
trade the battery with Quintana. Heartbroken, Havens allows the C.I.A.
to find Miller back at the hotel. Miller escapes with the battery, but
is seemingly shot on the rooftop and falls to his death in the river.
Feck is taken into custody afterwards to Schwedelbach, Germany, though
it is later revealed that Fitzgerald has been the real traitor all along
and he captures Feck.Returning home, Havens heads to an address she remembered from Miller's iPhone, where she finds his parents and learns that his real name is Matthew Knight. They believe their son, a former Army sergeant and Eagle Scout, is dead; but they are fabulously wealthy from winning lotteries and sweepstakes they don't remember entering. Leaving a message on her own answering machine that she has the Zephyr, she is captured by Quintana's men and taken to Sevilla, Spain. She is drugged with truth serum before being rescued by Miller, who was tracking Fitzgerald, who was delivering Feck to Quintana.
