Knight and Day (2010) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

A single girl en route to a family wedding gets swept up in a fight between a rogue government agent and the FBI in this globe-trotting action comedy from director James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma). June Havens (Cameron Diaz) is preparing to board a flight back home for her sister's wedding when she literally bumps into Roy Miller (Tom Cruise) in the middle of a busy airport. A few minutes later, they're making small talk on the plane when June excuses herself to the bathroom, and all hell breaks loose in the fuselage. By the time June emerges Roy has killed everybody on board, including the pilots. After crash-landing the plane in a darkened cornfield, Roy tells June that she should expect a visit from government agents, but warns her that by cooperating with them she risks almost certain death. The following day, Roy's prediction comes true when June is confronted by an imposing gang of government spooks who come under heavy fire while bombarding her with questions about her mysterious traveling companion. Suddenly, Roy is back, and he's once again whisking June away to safety. But what do the agents want, and why do they insist that Roy is the one to be feared, and not them? Before long the girl who never traveled far from home is off on a wild adventure that will take her from the tropics to Austria, France, and Spain. Somewhere amidst all of the confusion and gunfire, June begins to forge a bond with Roy. Unfortunately, it's never quite clear whether her unpredictable protector is one of the good guys or the bad guys, and by the time Roy reveals that he's attempting to protect a valuable new energy source, there's no time for questions. Paul Dano, Viola Davis, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Grace, and Marc Blucas co-star.

Is this Tom Cruise's last action hero role? His athleticism is intact, but Peter Bradshaw is underwhelmed by a secret agent part that pairs him with Cameron Diaz

In a film that makes no pretense at the plausibility of any of the action, the makers of "Knight and Day" are counting heavily on audience involvement with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.

Knight and Day is Tom Cruise’s first film in two years. We know it's been a while, so you may have forgotten what it's like to watch Cruise on screen as an action star (and not a hirsute vulgarian film producer or a self-hating Nazi). As a service, we answer every possible question you could have about Knight and Day.Q: Knight and Day was originally titled Wichita. Is the film set in Wichita? Is Emma Stone's character from Zombieland in the film? A: A brief opening scene takes place at the Wichita airport. In retrospect, this would be like titling Toy Story 3 "Andy's Bedroom." Emma Stone is nowhere to be found. Q: Why is it called Knight and Day? A: Cruise goes by the name of Roy Miller during the film. His parents, who we meet briefly, have the last name Knight.Q: Roy Miller? Is this a biopic of Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Roy Miller? Does Sandra Bullock make a cameo?

"Knight and Day" aspires to the light charm of a romantic action comedy like “Charade” or “Romancing the Stone,” but would come closer if it dialed down the relentless action. The romance part goes without saying after a Meet Cute contrived in an airport, and the comedy seems to generate naturally between Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. But why do so many summer movies find it obligatory to inflict us with CGI overkill? I'd sorta rather see Diaz and Cruise in action scenes on a human scale, rather than have it rubbed in that for long stretches, they're essentially replaced by animation.

Knight and Day is a 2010 American action comedy film starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The film, directed by James Mangold, is Cruise and Diaz's second on-screen collaboration following the 2001 film Vanilla Sky.[2] Diaz plays June Havens, a classic car restorer who unwittingly gets caught up with the eccentric secret agent Roy Miller, played by Cruise, who is on the run from the CIA.
