Having escaped from a maximum-security prison, Austin's deranged arch-nemesis Dr Evil and his mean minuscule accomplice Mini-Me are up to no good. And, as the dangerous criminal duo joins forces with perverted, gold-loving evil-doer Goldmember to take over the world, England's renowned spy Nigel Powers, Austin's dauntless father, is put in harm's way. Now, after the events of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), Powers embarks on a wild rescue mission through time with beautiful undercover agent Foxxy Cleopatra, looking for answers in distant 1975. However, the question remains. Can Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) shed light on the mystery and save the day?
