5 Best Secret Service Movies With Corrupt CIA, NSA And FBI Agents You Should Watch (updated)

Movies are an integral part of our lives, and this is not an overstatement. We have carefully selected some great ones in this collection of the best secret service movies.

Many of us watch movies for the entertainment they offer. However, some people usually look for more than the entertainment side of the movies.

When it comes to movies, secret service movies with CIA, NSA, and FBI themes are some of the most interesting movies. These are fascinating movies with lots of suspense and action that I personally like.

Secret Service Movies

Most of these secret service movies give us an insight into some of the behind-the-scenes activities of the world’s top secret service. From a corrupt Police Chief to a defected spy, there are plenty of movies to watch to feed your curiosity.

I have carefully selected movies with corrupt secret service, CIA, and NSA themes that you can watch again. Also, I have included some of the best movies with FBI agents that I have seen, love, and can recommend.

Below are the best secret service movies that highlight corrupt and illegal activities within the agencies:

[#1]. Bad Boys Series

Bad Boys (1995) stars Will Smith, Martin Lawrence & Lisa Boyle. Two detectives try to protect a murder witness while investigating a case of stolen heroin.

Bad Boys II (2003) stars Mike and Marcus as detectives, investigating the flow of drugs into Miami.

Bad Boys for Life (2020) is the 3rd movie in the series featuring detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. The two detectives help to bring down the ruthless Armando, who is on a mission to kill Mike at his mother Isabel’s orders.

In Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024), Mike and Marcus face their toughest case yet as their late captain’s reputation hangs in the balance. Subsequently, they unravel a complex web of cartel connections in a high-stakes mission.

[#2]. Bourne Film Series

TThe Bourne Identity (2002) stars Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, suffering from extreme memory loss. While attempting to discover his true identity, he met with a clandestine conspiracy within the (CIA).

The Bourne Supremacy (2004) focuses on Jason Bourne’s attempt to learn more of his past. He is once more enveloped in a conspiracy involving the CIA.

Then came The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) where Jason Bourne continues his search for information about his past.

The Bourne Legacy (2012) does not feature the titular character of Jason Bourne as it did in the previous 3 series. However, the movie continues the story of the film series without changing its events.

After recovering from amnesia in Jason Bourne (2016), Jason Bourne, a former CIA agent, goes into hiding. However, the actions of Robert Dewey, director of CIA, force him to reveal himself.

[#3]. Lethal Weapon Series

Lethal Weapon (1987) features a story of a veteran cop, Murtaugh, who is partnered with a young suicidal cop, Riggs. Both having one thing in common; hating working in pairs. Now they must learn to work with one another to stop a gang of drug smugglers.

In Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), Riggs and Murtaugh are on the trail of South African diplomats. They were using their immunity to engage in criminal activities.

Lethal Weapon 3 (1993) is where Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh pursue an arms dealer who is a former LAPD officer. In Lethal Weapon 4 (1998), Riggs and Murtaugh must contend with a deadly Chinese crime lord trying to get his brother out of prison.

[#4]. Enemy of the State Series

Enemy of the State (1998) is another fascinating movie to watch and watch again. The movie is about a group of rogue NSA agents who kill a US Congressman and try to cover up the murder.

The NSA agents did not know about a video camera for monitoring birds migration. The camera was set up by a wildlife researcher and it has captured the whole incident. In their attempt to recover the tape, the wildlife researcher got killed while fleeing.

However, he had already passed the tape over to an old college friend who happens to be a labour lawyer. This movie highlights pure and absolute abuse of power and government resources by corrupt politicians.
 

[#5]. 16 Blocks

This is another really interesting and arguably one of the best secret service movies that one can watch. In 16 Blocks, an aging cop is assigned the ordinary task of escorting a fast-talking witness from police custody to a courthouse.

There are however forces at work trying to stop prevent them from making it. The movie stars Bruce Willis as Jack Mosley who is an alcoholic, burned-out N.Y.P.D. detective, and Mos Def as Eddie Bunker.

Eddie is a witness that has to be escorted from local custody to the courthouse 16 blocks away to testify on a police corruption case before a grand jury. They’re ambushed by a gunman and Mosley calls for backup.

But unknown to Mosley, the backup that came have their own motives. They all wanted Bunker dead as his testimony will likely put several officers who are involved in the corruption scheme in trouble.
