Agent Cody Banks

Agent Cody Banks is a 2003 American action comedy film directed by Harald Zwart. The film stars Frankie Muniz as a 15-year-old who has to finish his chores, avoid getting grounded, and save the world by going undercover for the CIA as a James Bond–type superspy. Hilary Duff, Angie Harmon, Keith David, Cynthia Stevenson, Daniel Roebuck, Darrell Hammond, Ian McShane, and Arnold Vosloo co-star. It was filmed in British Columbia and was released in the United States on March 14, 2003.

It was the first major film project for Duff apart from the film spinoff of Lizzie McGuire, as well as for Harmon, who had just come off a three-year stint as Assistant D.A. Abbie Carmichael on NBC's Law & Order. Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London was released the following year. Agent Cody Banks's executive producers include Madonna (whose then-production company Maverick Films acquired the script) and Jason Alexander (he was originally attached to direct before being replaced by Vic Armstrong, who was ultimately replaced by Zwart).
