True Lies (1994) - Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a faux '007' in this entertaining US spy adventure, which features some digitally-enhanced
stunt effects.
There's a Bell 206 JetRanger used for aerial surveillance while hero Arnie is following his wife because he suspects she's having an affair. The
helicopter provides air support during a subsequent commando raid on trailer home of a used car salesman (who's only pretending to be a secret agent).
Villains have a Eurocopter AS-350 to fly the captured hero and his hostage wife to Arab terrorists' camp, on an island off the Florida keys, where
the bad guys load a Russian nuke aboard their A-Star and take-off.
When a tactical squad of agents arrive, in a Bell 212 and Bell 206L Long Ranger, to rescue our hero after destruction of the enemy camp,
Arnie uses the low-flying chopper (Bell 212) to save the heroine (Jamie Lee Curtis) from a
runaway limo on the seven-mile road bridge in Florida keys. He hangs down from the helicopter's landing skids to rescue his wife, just before the
speeding car drops over the edge of a damaged section on the long bridge.

The Bell 212 and the JetRanger land, hurriedly, in a car parking area that's just off the bridge, shortly before a nuclear warhead explodes and
produces a mushroom cloud in the distance.
Later, in airborne scenes over Miami, a gunman on the terrorists' A-Star shoots at our hero's borrowed Harrier jump-jet, while the plane is hovering
next to a building, as the super-spy hero rescues his daughter (an early role for Eliza Dushku), who's trapped on a construction crane. Then, the
Harrier fires a missile through a hole in the damaged building to destroy the villains' circling helicopter.
