Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
When diabolical genius Dr. Evil travels back in time to steal superspy Austin Powers's ‘mojo,’ Austin must return to the swingin' '60s himself - with the help of American agent, Felicity Shagwell - to stop the dastardly plan. Once there, Austin faces off against Dr. Evil's army of minions to try to save the world in his own unbelievably groovy way.

Plot
On his honeymoon in 1999, British spy Austin Powers discovers that his wife, Vanessa Kensington, is actually an android "fembot" controlled by Dr. Evil. After Vanessa self-destructs, Austin celebrates that he is single again. Meanwhile, a NATO monitoring facility observes Dr. Evil's return from space. He appears on The Jerry Springer Show, where he reunites with his estranged son, Scott.
At Dr. Evil's Space Needle lair in Seattle, he is presented with a dwarf clone of himself, whom he names Mini-Me. Dr. Evil outlines a plan to time travel back to the 1960s and render Austin powerless by stealing his "mojo", which Dr. Evil defines as libido or life force. Dr. Evil and Mini-Me travel to 1969, meeting a younger Number Two and Frau Farbissina. Dr. Evil's henchman Fat Bastard extracts Austin's mojo from his frozen body at the Ministry of Defence (MOD). In 1999, British intelligence warns Austin that one of Dr. Evil's agents is after him. The agent, Ivana Humpalot, finds Austin irresistibly attractive and decides not to kill him. While in bed with Ivana, Austin discovers that he has lost his mojo.
The MOD sends Austin to 1969 using a time-traveling Volkswagen New Beetle. He arrives at his London residence, where he evades an assassination attempt by Dr. Evil's operatives with the help of CIA agent Felicity Shagwell. Mustafa, another of Dr. Evil's henchmen, pursues Austin and Felicity, but they manage to subdue him. Mustafa reveals the existence of Dr. Evil's lair, but before he can divulge its location, Mini-Me causes him to fall from a cliff.
