Although John and Jane Smith (played by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) seem to be a normal married couple, living in an ordinary suburb in the USA with normal jobs, in reality, they are both employed as assassins ....but for different firms. Neither knows the other's true profession and both are the best in their fields.

The story starts to unfold when both are assigned to kill the same target by their respective firms at which point they come across each other during the task and both realise the truth about the other's true profession. To make things worse, both of their employers give each of them the assignment to eliminate the other, forcing them to choose between their chosen professions and their personal lives.

One evening John arrives home to be greeted by a smiling Jane who has cooked him a special dinner. As they both sit at the table, they are both keeping an eye on each other, looking for tell-tale signs of treachery. Jane serves up a pot roast which raises John's suspicions as to whether it's been poisoned.

Below is a pot roast recipe for you to try.
