Plot summary
Konstantine Konali, a Russian mafia boss, hides his money laundering behind a legitimate business: a video game that much of the world is playing and that is highly addictive. The game also lets him defeat the security of nearly any computer it has been installed on, and a series of major robberies has followed. Unable to catch him, Commandant Alexandrei Nikolaivich Rakov asks America for help and turns to Commandant Eric Lassard, a man he met at a police convention a month earlier. Lassard briefs his officers and takes them to Moscow: Cadet Kyle Connors, Captain Debbie Callahan, Sergeants Larvell Jones and Eugene Tackleberry, and Captain Thaddeus Harris, who are to find evidence against Konali.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Police Academy: Mission to Moscow (1994)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Police Academy: Mission to Moscow was one of the first American-produced comedy films allowed to shoot in post-Soviet Russia itself, filming scenes involving the Bolshoi Ballet and on Red Square, according to the DVD featurette Underneath the Mission.
- Shooting the film in Russia in the fall of 1993 was temporarily halted by the October 1993 constitutional crisis, and the damaged White House is clearly visible in one scene; production later resumed, with an early scene shot at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
- Michael Winslow wore a wireless microphone to pick up his comedic sound effects for Sergeant Larvell Jones's bike-trick scene, but its frequency was the same one the military used, so officials descended on the crew, an incident producer Paul Maslansky says ended on friendly terms.
