Synopsis – What to Expect from “Best Defense”
Best Defense is a 1984 comedy starring Dudley Moore and Eddie Murphy. The plot follows the misadventures of two military engineers, Moore and Murphy, as they attempt to develop a top-secret tank for the US Army.
The story begins with Moore and Murphy being assigned to the project by their superior, General Partridge. The two engineers are tasked with creating a tank that will be able to withstand any type of attack and be virtually indestructible. Moore and Murphy must use their wits and inventiveness to design and build the tank, despite limited resources and time.
The two engineers are soon joined by a mysterious woman, played by Diana Scarwid, who is sent to the project by General Partridge. She is a brilliant engineer, and her presence helps Moore and Murphy get the tank finished in time. However, the two engineers soon discover that the woman is actually a spy sent by the Russians to steal the plans for the tank.
Moore and Murphy must then use all of their ingenuity and resourcefulness to protect the plans from the spy and complete the project. They enlist the help of their fellow engineers and enlistees, and together they manage to outwit the spy and complete the tank.
At the same time, Moore and Murphy must also deal with the military bureaucracy, which is determined to shut down the project. The two engineers must use all of their wits to convince the military to keep the project going, and they eventually succeed.
