The hippest cast in history has united to become the funniest superhero team ever. Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Greg Kinnear, Geoffrey Rush and Paul Reubens join forces in this wild, funny and thoroughly original misadventure. When Captain Amazing, Champion City's legendary superhero, falls into the hands of the evil madman Casanova Frankenstein and his disco-dancing henchmen, there's suddenly a chance for the aspiring superheroes to show what they can do. They're the Mystery Men...a ragtag team of superhero wannabes featuring: Mr. Furious, whose power comes from his boundless rage; The Shoveler, a father who shovels "better than anyone"; The Blue Raja, a fork-flinging mama's boy; The Bowler, who fights crime with the help of her father's skull; The Spleen, whose power is pure flatulence; Invisible Boy, who's only invisible when no one's watching and The Sphinx, a cliche-spewing philosopher. With its outrageous adventure, incredible cast and hip alternative humor, Mystery Men is so irresistibly funny and appealing, seeing it just once will never be enough.

When Captain Amazing, the superhero of a major city, is captured by his nemesis, Casanova Frankenstein, it's up to an inept group of amateurs with a variety of strange and seemingly ineffectual powers to rescue him and save the world in the process.

In the 1950s, rock 'n' roll was considered the devil's music. In this film, three teens -- Tony (Max Perlich), Susan (Renee Zellweger) and Cookie (Patricia Childress) -- defy popular belief when they start a dance show (hosted by Howie Mandel) and showcase an African-American girl group called the Sirens. Trouble brews when conservative parents (Nora Dunn, Mary Woronov) try to stop the show -- and instead end up inciting a rock 'n' roll riot!
