Directed by Jay Roach Summary SNL alumnus Mike Meyers stars as Austin Powers, an over-the-top 1960s British spy who allows himself to become cryogenically frozen in 1967 in order to thwart his nemisis Dr. Evil at a future date. Revived 30 years later, Austin refuses to give up his swinging 60s attitude, while Dr. Evil tries to come terms with the 1990s in his own way. A hilarious take on the James Bond franchise.
