During a mission in the Middle East, secret agent Harry Hart is unable to prevent the death of one of his fellow agents. Feeling guilt, he personally delivers a bravery medal to the man's widow and his young son, Eggsy, saying that if they ever need help, they should call the phone number on the back of the medal and deliver a coded message.
Seventeen years later, Eggsy is now unemployed and living with his mother, infant sister and an abusive stepfather. Despite being intelligent and able, he left the training for the Royal Marines because his mother worried he would end up as his father. He is arrested for stealing the car belonging to a thug who earlier threatened him in a pub. In police custody calls the number on the back of the medal and is released. He is met outside the station by Harry, who tells him about Kingsmen: a secret intelligence agency that he works for and for whom his late father worked. At a local pub, Harry criticises Eggsy for wasting his life. When some local thugs show up for retribution on Eggsy for his earlier theft of the car, Harry advises the thugs to leave. When they rebuff him, Harry beats the thugs up, then takes Eggsy to the Kingsmen training headquarters via a the tailor shop that functions as Harry's civilian cover. 7out of 10
