Mike Meyers plays dual roles in a spoof of the James Bond series. He
plays Austin Powers, a British super agent, and Dr. Evil, his arch-nemesis.
The film opens in the 1960's, when Dr. Evil decides to be cryogenically
frozen so he can be thawed out when Austin is too old to thwart his evil
plans. Austin volunteers to be frozen also, so he can be thawed out when
Dr. Evil resurfaces. They're both reanimated in the 1990's, and they try
to adjust to the world after missing 30 years.
Austin Powers: "As long as people are still having premarital sex
with many anonymous partners while at the same time experimenting with
mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I'll be sound as
a pound!"
