Details

In the 1994 film Guarding Tess, a retired United States First Lady, Tess Carlisle, insists on having a specific Secret Service agent, Doug Chesnic, as her personal bodyguard, despite his distaste for her. Tess, a strong-willed and demanding woman, has a habit of testing Chesnic's patience with her constant requests and unconventional behavior.

Chesnic, who initially resents his assignment, gradually develops a grudging admiration for Tess as he witnesses her determination and resilience. While their relationship remains strained, he starts to understand the importance of his role in protecting her. As their bond strengthens, he becomes not only her protector but also someone she confides in.

As the story evolves, unforeseen events force Chesnic and Tess to confront their own vulnerabilities and confront the harsh realities of life. Tensions rise when Tess goes missing, making Chesnic launch a frantic search to find her. This unexpected turn of events further tests their bond and explores the depths of their connection.

Guarding Tess is a heartwarming film that combines lighthearted moments with emotional depth. It explores themes of duty, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships in the face of adversity. With exceptional performances from Shirley MacLaine, who portrays the headstrong Tess Carlisle, and Nicolas Cage, who brings depth to the character of Doug Chesnic, this movie provides an entertaining and thought-provoking viewing experience.
