It’s been almost 10 years since Cameron Diaz’s last film appearance — but we have some good news. With Back in Action, Diaz is, well, back in action alongside her Any Given Sunday and Annie co-star Jamie Foxx. The pair play seemingly average parents with a big secret: They used to be incredibly skilled secret agents. Coaching Little League is a bit of a step down.

Of course, as the title suggests, the couple’s low-key suburban existence is not long for this world. Soon, the two are dragged back into the life they left behind, with explosive results. Read on to learn more about Back in Action, and get ready to join Diaz and Foxx when they land on Netflix this year.
