The Master of Disguise 2002

In the sunlit streets of Palermo, Italy in 1979, Fabbrizio Disguisey, a brilliant master of deception, managed to dismantle the notorious smuggling scheme led by Devlin Bowman, all while cleverly posing as Bo Derek. This pivotal act not only marked the pinnacle of his impressive legacy but also weighed heavy on his conscience. He had to keep this dark truth hidden from his family, worried that his young son, Pistachio, would be forced to inherit this dangerous life.

Fast forward twenty-three years, Fabbrizio has swapped his spy identity for one as a passionate chef in a quiet American town. There, he cherishes life with his wife and son, blissfully ignorant of the peril encroaching upon them. Meanwhile, Bowman had been plotting his return after being released from prison three years earlier, determined to kidnap Fabbrizio and his wife and reclaim his once-great smuggling empire under the guise of the Master of Disguise.

When Fabbrizio disappears without a trace, young Pistachio must unravel the complicated mystery surrounding his family. His grandfather, realizing the seriousness of their situation, discloses the truth about their heritage and begins Pistachio’s training to inherit the skills of disguise and deception. Eager to learn, the young man rapidly masters the tricks of manipulation and disguise under his grandfather’s mentorship.

Pistachio’s adventure takes a turn when he meets Jennifer Baker, an unsuspecting ally who becomes embroiled in the unfolding chaos. Together, they stumble upon a vital lead—Bowman’s cigar—that directs them to the Turtle Club, where they uncover the true scope of Bowman’s operation and discover that he plans to attend an antiques fair the next day.

In a clever ruse, Pistachio dons the disguise of an elderly woman to gain entry into the fair, accompanied by Jennifer, who unknowingly attracts Bowman’s attention at a lavish gathering. As Jennifer seeks out answers, Pistachio creates a crafty distraction, buying her precious time to gather vital information.

That evening, as they sift through their findings, trouble arises when Bowman’s henchmen kidnap Jennifer. In a moment of desperation, Pistachio consults his grandfather through an ancient crystal ball, brainstorming a plan to penetrate Bowman’s hideout and rescue his loved ones.

An epic showdown ensues as Pistachio confronts his brainwashed father, now convinced he is Devlin Bowman. In this thrilling clash of the Masters of Disguise, Pistachio triumphantly liberates his parents and retrieves the purloined artifacts.

After the chaos, Pistachio solidifies his connection with Jennifer, culminating in their marriage and his emergence as a true Master of Disguise. Yet, their joy is short-lived when they learn that Bowman has made his escape, having stolen the United States Constitution in the process. The Disguiseys embark on a heart-pounding pursuit to Costa Rica, playing a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse, where they ultimately outsmart Bowman and secure the iconic document.
