The Nude Bomb (also known as The Return of Maxwell Smart) is a 1980 American spy comedy film based on the television series Get Smart. It stars Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, Agent 86, and was directed by Clive Donner. It was retitled The Return of Maxwell Smart for television. Co-creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry notably had no involvement in the making of the film. Furthermore, Don Adams and Robert Karvelas (as Larrabee) were the only original cast members of the TV series to reprise their roles for the film.
Agent Maxwell Smart is called back into service in order to stop a nefarious KAOS terrorist plan from exploding a bomb that destroys only clothing, so as to leave KAOS as the only supplier of clothes to the entire world. Norman Saint-Sauvage, the KAOS fashion designer, finds everyone else’s clothing designs gauche, so he builds a machine capable of cloning his favorite seamstress and implements the Nude Bombs. He wears a costume including thimbles over each finger, and his mountain lair is entered via a giant zipper.
