The film follows Loid Forger, a skilled spy known as Twilight, who faces new challenges after completing a critical mission for his organization, WISE. He learns that he may be replaced in his current assignment, Operation Strix, unless he can prove his worth. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his daughter Anya's upcoming cooking competition at Eden Academy, where the winner can earn a prestigious Stella star. Motivated by his desire to aid Anya, Loid takes his family to the northern country of Frigis to sample a regional dessert called Meremere, which he hopes to recreate for the competition.

During their travels, Anya stumbles upon a mysterious suitcase containing a chocolate treat that leads to unexpected trouble. The family soon finds themselves in a competition against Colonel Snidel, a military officer who has his own plans for the dessert and the microfilm hidden within the chocolate. The stakes rise as Anya's cleverness and her pet dog Bond's precognition come into play, helping the Forgers navigate through a series of comedic and thrilling events.

The film's voice cast includes familiar actors from the anime series, such as Takuya Eguchi as Loid, Atsumi Tanezaki as Anya, and Saori Hayami as Yor. The animation was brought to life by Wit Studio and CloverWorks, who are known for their vibrant and engaging visual style.

Spy × Family Code: White garnered positive reviews from audiences and critics alike, highlighting its entertaining blend of humor, action, and heartfelt moments. The film successfully grossed over US$59 million worldwide, showcasing its wide appeal beyond Japan.

The film is not just a standalone story but also deepens the relationships between the characters, especially between Loid and Yor, as they confront their fears and misunderstandings. It beautifully captures the essence of family while keeping the audience engaged with its lighthearted comedic elements.
