Come rubammo la bomba atomica or How We Stole the Atomic Bomb is a 1967 Italian-Egyptian international co-production Eurospy comedy based on the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash.

Filmed in Italy and Egypt, it stars the Italian comic duo of Franco and Ciccio and was directed by Lucio Fulci.

While fishing off the coast of Egypt, Italian fisherman Franco and his father see an American Air Force bomber crash in the water carrying nuclear weapons.

When Franco swims ashore, Agent 87, a member of an international criminal organization called SPECTRALIS, kidnaps him to locate the nuclear weapon.

His attempt to threaten Franco with torture on a mechanical butt-kicking device backfires when Ciccio lets himself demonstrate the necessary posture himself.

At the SPECTRALLIS base in Egypt, three spies named James Bomb, Modesty Bluff, and Derek Flit attack Ciccio.

They stop fighting each other when a live report on the radio announces that the search has ended after the United States claimed that there was no nuclear bomb on board the crashed plane.

Franco takes the disgraced Ciccio aboard his fishing boat, still beached on the shore, to sail back to Italy.

Weeks later, Franco and Ciccio are aboard a yacht living in a life of luxury, with the bomb pointed across the sea as they are blackmailing world leaders for riches by telephone to avert nuclear destruction.
