Movie with a bomb triggered by a musical phrase played by an orchestra [closed] - Piano Keys Illustration

I've been trying to recall the title-described movie for days now, and I can't quite place it. It's action/thriller, as I recall, I think with either some mistaken-identity regarding the main character, or a situation where the bad guy(s) framed him. Either way, I'm pretty sure he and his reluctant partner had to work against the system to save the day.

The bomb was either under the conductor's podium, inside an organ console, or under the piano, can't remember which.

I was thinking that Martin Lawrence was the lead, but none of his titles on IMDB ring a bell.



Best Answer

This is Get Smart

The 2008 film version of the 1970's spy spoof television series.
Maxwell Smart has to prevent an planned explosion that will be triggered by a series of notes at a concert. The bomb in the piano will kill the US President.

The mistaken identity and framing that you remember are similar to the plot of Get Smart. The hero is not Martin Lawrence but Steve Carrell.

Answer 2

This could also be Eagle Eye (2008)

Its starring Shia LaBouf and the plot is very similar to the one you describe, with a bomb being planted in a necklace, set to explode on a certain note of the song played by a trumpet.

The president arrives. Sam's class, whose recital has been moved from the Kennedy Center to the capitol to play the national anthem prior to the president's speech, begins to play. The trigger that will set off the explosive necklace is set to activate when Sam plays a sustained "high F" on his trumpet corresponding to the word "free" in the last stanza of the national anthem
