'Kingsman: The Secret Service' is a British-American spy action-comedy film. The film start from the raid in the Middle East in 1997, a probationary secret agent sacrifices himself to save the whole team. Thereafter, Harry Hart, code-name”Galahad”, delivers medal for valour the agent widow, Michelle Unwin, and her young son, Gary ”Eggsy”, saying that if they ever needed help, they should call the phone number on the back of the medal.

Seventeen years later, Professor James Arnold is kidnapped by Internet billionaire and philanthropist Richmond Valentine. One of Hart's fellow agents, "Lancelot", attempts a rescue single-handed, but is killed by Gazelle, Valentine's henchwoman, who wears prosthetic legs that are specially sharpened to double up as blades. Valentine secretly meets with various powerful individuals, some of whom go missing afterwards. He also announces a giveaway of SIM Smart cards, granting free cellular and Internet access forever to everyone.

In London, Eggsy is now an unemployed young adult living with his mother, infant half-sister, and abusive stepfather, Dean. Despite being highly intelligent and capable, he left training for Royal Marines and lives the aimless life of a stereotypical chav. Arrested for stealing a car, Eggsy calls the number on the medal. Hart has him released and tells Eggsy about his father - he was an agent of Kingsman, an "independent international intelligence agency" founded in 1919 by wealthy British individuals who had lost their heirs in the First World War.

Unsure whom to trust, Merlin decides that he, Roxy and Eggsy must stop Valentine on their own. Roxy rides a high-attitude balloon into the stratosphere to disrupt Valentine's impending broadcast by destroying one of his satellites, while Eggsy and Merlin infiltrate Valentine’s mountain bunker complex in Argentina. Roxy downs the satellite, but Valentine gets a business contact to replace it, then activates the signal, causing worldwide violence.

Eggsy is recognised and engages in a running fight with Valentine's henchmen. Eventually, both he and Merlin are cornered separately, but at Eggsy's suggestion, Merlin hacks into Valentine's system and causes the implants to explode, killing every convert when their heads explode, except Valentine and Gazelle, both of whom did not carry the implants. Eggsy manages to successfully kill Gazelle after a fierce and intense fight with her, and then spears Valentine with the sharpened tip of Gazelle's prosthetic leg, ending the worldwide carnage as Valentine falls to the ground-floor and dies.

Eggsy later becomes a Kingsman agent. He offers his mother a new home away from Dean, who flatly objects to Eggsy's suggestion. Eggsy then waylays him in exactly the same manner that Hart dealt with one of Dean's henchmen earlier.
The movie is best in comedy and using movie techniques.
