| − | Austin Powers, a super-spy from the [[1960s]], and his arch-nemesis [[Dr. Evil]], (both played by comedian [[Mike Myers]]) have faced each other many times during the decade. In [[1967]], Dr. Evil plans a trap for Austin at the Electric Psychedelic Pussycat Swinger's Club one of Austin's known hang out's. At the club Austin and his partner [[Mrs. Kensington]] ([[Mimi Rogers]]) are attacked by one of Dr. Evil's assassins disguised as a waitress but they managed to subdue him, Dr. Evil escapes and Austin and Mrs. Kensington confront him but he places himself in cryostasis to return at a time when he would not be expected. Austin volunteers to have himself placed in cryostasis as well, should his services be requested in the future. |

| + | In 1967, British spy [[Austin Powers]] thwarts an assassination attempt by his arch-nemesis [[Dr. Evil]] in a London nightclub. Dr. Evil escapes in a space rocket disguised as a Big Boy statue and cryogenically freezes himself. Austin volunteers to be placed into cryostasis in case Dr. Evil returns in the future. |
||
| − | Thirty years later in [[1997]] when news of Dr. Evil's return from cryostasis after being frozen for thirty years reaches the world, Austin is unfrozen. He is then paired with [[Vanessa Kensington]] ([[Elizabeth Hurley]]), the daughter of his 1960's partner Mrs. Kensington to help him cope with the 90's. The duo sets off on Austin's jet to Las Vegas to locate Dr. Evil. |
||
| + | 30 years later, in 1997, Dr. Evil returns to discover his henchman [[Number 2]] has developed Virtucon, the legitimate front of Evil's empire, into a multibillion-dollar enterprise. Uninterested by genuine business, Dr. Evil conspires to steal nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage for $100 billion. Evil also learns that, during his absence, his associates have artificially created his son [[Scott Evil]], using his frozen semen. Now a Generation X teenager, Scott is resentful of his father's absence and resists his attempts to get closer to him. |
||
| − | Meanwhile, Dr. Evil discovers that his cat, [[Mr. Bigglesworth]], has gone completely bald due to the cryogenics. [[Mustafa]] (played by [[Will Ferrell]]), who was instructed to resolve this problem, gets vaporized but does not die immediately, so he ends up being fatally shot in the arm twice. Dr. Evil then discusses with his associates how to take over the world. First, he says that he should make it look like Prince Charles is having an affair so he and Princess Diana will divorce, but [[Number 2]] informs him this has already happened (the movie was released in the theaters 6 months before Diana's death). Then he suggests they create a hole in the ozone layer, causing an high increase in skin cancer, but Number 2 says this has already happened as well. In reaction to this, Dr. Evil says one of his most famous lines: "Throw me a frickin' bone here!" They eventually decide to hijack a nuclear warhead and hold the world hostage. Dr. Evil, in addition to finding that a million dollars is not worth that much anymore, meets his son, [[Scott Evil|Scott]]. [[Frau]] reveals their new secret weapon, android models with guns that pop out of their breasts, a.k.a. [[Fembots]]. They consider it a good weapon on Austin, who would automatically fall for the robots. Dr. Evil and Scott then attend a therapy session (with [[Carrie Fisher]] as the therapist), in which Dr. Evil tells his life story. |
||
| + | Having learned of Dr. Evil's return, the British Ministry of Defence unfreezes Austin, acclimatizing him to the 1990s with the help of agent [[Vanessa Kensington]], the daughter of his sidekick in the 1960s, [[Mrs. Kensington]]. Posing as a married couple, Austin and Vanessa track Number 2 to Las Vegas and meet his Italian secretary [[Alotta Fagina]]. Later, Austin infiltrates Fagina's penthouse suite for reconnaissance and discovers plans for Dr. Evil's "Project Vulcan", which involves drilling a nuclear warhead into the Earth's molten core and triggering volcanic eruptions worldwide. Fagina discovers Austin in her suite and seduces him into revealing his true identity. Learning that Austin is back, Dr. Evil and his entourage conspire to defeat the spy by creating a series of fembots: beautiful female androids equipped with automatic guns concealed in their breasts. |
||
| − | Austin and Vanessa, after an argument on the plane about her having sex with him, land in Las Vegas. They are forced to share a room, much to Vanessa's disgust, as Austin is not very hygienic. Posing as a married couple they soon begin their work pursuing Dr. Evil, following Number 2 and his Italian secretary [[Alotta Fagina]] into a casino. After a Blackjack match, Vanessa and Austin spend more time together, going around in Vegas. Vanessa ends up intoxicated and begging Austin to have sex with her. Strangely enough, Austin does not want to, saying it would not be right to take advantage of a woman like her, tempting though she is. He is then prompted to go to Alotta Fagina's penthouse to get information on Dr. Evil's doomsday device. He finds the information at the penthouse, Dr. Evil will use the warhead in a drill to go into the center of the earth. But Alotta soon discovers him, and seduces him into sex with her. |
||
| + | Austin and Vanessa attempt to infiltrate the Virtucon headquarters but are soon apprehended by Dr. Evil's henchman, Random Task. Meanwhile, the United Nations accede to the demands of Dr. Evil, who proceeds with Project Vulcan regardless. Austin and Vanessa are placed in a death trap by Dr. Evil, but they easily escape and Kensington is sent for help. While searching for Dr. Evil, Powers is confronted by the fembots, whom he defeats by counter-seducing them with a striptease. Led by Vanessa, British forces raid the underground lair, while Powers finds the doomsday device and deactivates it. Powers confronts Dr. Evil, but Fagina arrives holding Kensington hostage. They are interrupted by Number 2, who tries to betray Dr. Evil by making a deal with Powers. Dr. Evil uses a trap door to eliminate Number 2, then activates the base's self-destruct mechanism and escapes. Powers and Kensington flee just as a nuclear explosion destroys the lair. |
||
| − | After a mission briefing, Vanessa and Austin go to Dr. Evil's headquarters, which is actually the HQ of the cable company he owns. They sneak in though the entrance to the inside of the real headquarters. They are eventually captured, and even though Dr. Evil requested sharks with laser beams on their heads, they are placed in a room with flesh-eating sea bass because the sharks were on the endangered species list and the laser beams were not perfected. Scott objects, saying they will escape, and volunteers to kill them himself but Dr. Evil goes on with the plan. They escape using dental floss, and blinding the guard with toothpaste, causing him to fall into the tank. However, they gain valuable insight on Dr. Evil's plan. The British army then plans a raid on Dr. Evil's headquarters. |
||
| + | Powers and Kensington are later married, and during their honeymoon Powers is attacked by Random Task. Powers subdues the assassin using a penis pump, allowing Kensington to knock him out using a bottle of champagne. Afterwards, the newlyweds adjourn to the balcony. Among the stars, Powers spots the cryogenic chamber of Dr. Evil, who vows revenge on Austin. |
||
| − | When they invade the headquarters Austin is exposed to the Fembots whom almost subdue him. He then realizes he can defeat them by working his mojo. This is successful, but he is stripped of all but his Union Jack underwear, and Vanessa and two soldiers walk in on him. When he explains how he defeated the androids, Vanessa believes him, and they continue to search for Dr. Evil. |

| − | |||
| − | They eventually locate the Doctor, and he and his henchmen are about to carry out their plan. While "Secret Agent Man" plays in the background, Austin and Vanessa with help from British forces stop Dr. Evil's doomsday device, but Dr. Evil soon flees closely followed by Austin. During this showdown, Dr. Evil remarks on the irony that all of the things Austin stands for — free love, sixties music, and patriotism for example — are now considered 'evil' by modern teenagers in retaliation for Austin thwarting his escape. Austin replies that his generation wasn't about those things. If his people had known the consequences of such a lifestyle, they would have lived differently but the spirit would have remained the same. Just then, Alotta Fagina shows up holding Vanessa hostage. This distracts Austin and when Scott enters Austin holds him hostage to "turn the tables" but Scott runs away angered that his father turns down "his breakthrough in group" and that wishes he was never artificially created in a lab. Number 2 appears and Dr. Evil orders him to kill Austin but he refuses and instead attempts to make a business proposition to Austin. Dr. Evil seemingly kills Number 2 and executes the lair's self-destruct sequence and escapes back to space while Vanessa knocks Alotta unconscious. Austin and Vanessa manage to escape the lair in time. |

| − | Later, Austin and Vanessa get married, leading to a scene with genital cover-ups. After foiling [[Random Task]]'s last-ditch attempt at their lives, they go out to the balcony. Noticing a rather bright star Austin pulls out a telescope and is shocked to discover that the star is in fact Dr. Evil's cryogenic chamber. |

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is the first installment of the Austin Powers franchise.
Plot[]
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In 1967, British spy Austin Powers thwarts an assassination attempt by his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil in a London nightclub. Dr. Evil escapes in a space rocket disguised as a Big Boy statue and cryogenically freezes himself. Austin volunteers to be placed into cryostasis in case Dr. Evil returns in the future.
30 years later, in 1997, Dr. Evil returns to discover his henchman Number 2 has developed Virtucon, the legitimate front of Evil's empire, into a multibillion-dollar enterprise. Uninterested by genuine business, Dr. Evil conspires to steal nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage for $100 billion. Evil also learns that, during his absence, his associates have artificially created his son Scott Evil, using his frozen semen. Now a Generation X teenager, Scott is resentful of his father's absence and resists his attempts to get closer to him.
Having learned of Dr. Evil's return, the British Ministry of Defence unfreezes Austin, acclimatizing him to the 1990s with the help of agent Vanessa Kensington, the daughter of his sidekick in the 1960s, Mrs. Kensington. Posing as a married couple, Austin and Vanessa track Number 2 to Las Vegas and meet his Italian secretary Alotta Fagina. Later, Austin infiltrates Fagina's penthouse suite for reconnaissance and discovers plans for Dr. Evil's "Project Vulcan", which involves drilling a nuclear warhead into the Earth's molten core and triggering volcanic eruptions worldwide. Fagina discovers Austin in her suite and seduces him into revealing his true identity. Learning that Austin is back, Dr. Evil and his entourage conspire to defeat the spy by creating a series of fembots: beautiful female androids equipped with automatic guns concealed in their breasts.
Austin and Vanessa attempt to infiltrate the Virtucon headquarters but are soon apprehended by Dr. Evil's henchman, Random Task. Meanwhile, the United Nations accede to the demands of Dr. Evil, who proceeds with Project Vulcan regardless. Austin and Vanessa are placed in a death trap by Dr. Evil, but they easily escape and Kensington is sent for help. While searching for Dr. Evil, Powers is confronted by the fembots, whom he defeats by counter-seducing them with a striptease.

Powers and Kensington are later married, and during their honeymoon Powers is attacked by Random Task. Powers subdues the assassin using a penis pump, allowing Kensington to knock him out using a bottle of champagne. Afterwards, the newlyweds adjourn to the balcony. Among the stars, Powers spots the cryogenic chamber of Dr. Evil, who vows revenge on Austin.
