In World War II, German forces were able to communicate in secret code using a special cipher machine aptly named the Enigma. Capable of transmitting encrypted messages with millions of numeric permutations, the Nazis could coordinate multiple-front offensives with the element of surprise on their side. On several occasions, allied forces unsuccessfully attempted to steal the Enigma to intercept and translate these secret codes. Finally, the British military assembled an elite group of special forces to go behind enemy lines and infiltrate the factory where the Enigma was made.
Steven O'Rourke (Matt LeBlanc, TV's Friends) is a an American OSS Agent-aka "Special Agent Almost" due to his inability to actually complete a mission-with his own set of rules. O'Rourke is called to lead a mismatched team of British solders into the heart of Nazi Germany to infiltrate H20, the Nazi Enigma factory. There's only one problem: the factory is staffed exclusively by women. So the only way for O'Rourke and his team to infiltrate is to go undercover disguised as women. Tony Parker (Eddie Izzard, Velvet Goldmine), a British solder moonlighting as a lounge singing drag queen, and Archie (James Cosmo, Braveheart), a British Army administrative clerk, are teamed up with O'Rourke to break into the factory and steal an Enigma. But first Parker must transform the soldiers into women and O'Rourke must transform his motley crew into commandos.
Once behind enemy lines, the team meets up with their contact Romy (Nicolette Krebitz, Bandits), a German double agent posing as a librarian. O'Rourke is quite taken by the German beauty but finds himself at a disadvantage romancing her while wearing a dress. After a series of run-ins with Nazi forces, the team evades capture and manages to steal an Enigma. Now the only thing left to do is get out of Germany alive.

Franz: [Pronouncing "bisexual" with a thick German accent]
Tony: Well, actually I'm a bisexual lesbian. It's more complicated than that.
Franz: Not bad for a bunch of queens.
Franz: [hugging Tony on bed] I learned to adapt. I even have sex with women.
