Thirsting for revenge after the events of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), despicable Dr Evil gets his hands on a diabolical machine and travels back to groovy 1969. But everyone knows that bad habits are hard to break, and this time, apart from world domination, the ambitious megalomaniac is bent on stealing everything Austin holds dear: his undeniable charm and swagger and his vaulting libido. As an insecure Powers returns to the psychedelic 1960s, teamed up with blonde CIA bombshell Felicity Shagwell, the out-of-time British agent must do the impossible: salvage what's left of his once-unstoppable sex drive and thwart Dr Evil's latest lunatic plot. Can Austin Powers, the man who lost his mojo, avert the inevitable for the second time?
