Which James Cameron film stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Helen Tasker?

True Lies stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Helen Tasker.

Helen is the wife of Harry Tasker, a covert intelligence agent who pretends to have a routine office job. At first, Helen believes Harry is a computer salesman. The film’s story changes when his secret work begins to overlap with his family life, drawing Helen into the action.

Curtis’s performance combined comedy, romance, and action. She received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy for the role, and the film became one of her best-known collaborations with director James Cameron. Arnold Schwarzenegger played Harry, while Tom Arnold played his colleague Albert Gibson.

True Lies was released in 1994 and was based on the French comedy-action film La Totale! It is distinct from Cameron’s other films featuring prominent female characters, such as Ripley in Aliens, Sarah Connor in The Terminator, and Rose in Titanic. Helen Tasker specifically belongs to the espionage comedy True Lies.
