Mystery Man

Als Casanova Frankenstein den Captain America entführt, bleibt nur noch die zweite Garde der
Superhelden übrig. Sie verfügen über die skurrilsten Fähigkeiten, sind aber alle etwas
unterbelichtet.Länge: 118 MinutenBen Stiller (Something About Mary, Permanent Midnight), Hank Azaria (Godzilla, The Birdcage), William H. Macy (Fargo, Psycho), Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee's Big Adventure), Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black), Wes Studi (Last Of The Mohicans), Janeane Garofalo (The Truth About Cats and Dogs), Kel Mitchell (Nickelodeon's Keenan & Keb| Geoffrey Rush (Shine), Lena Olin (Enemies: A Love Story, Polish Wedding), Tom Waits (Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Fisher King), Greg Kinnear (You've Got Mail, As Good As It Gets), Jennifer Lewis (The Mighty, The Preacher's Wife), Eddie Izzard (Velvet Goldmine) and Pras (from the multi-platinum recording act The Fugees) star in Mystery Men, an ensemble action comedy. A Lawrence Gordon/Lloyd Levin/Dark Horse production, Mystery Men is being directed by commercial-veteran director Kinka Usher, who makes his feature film directorial debut.

Based on the Dark Horse comic, Mystery Men casts Stiller, Azaria, Macy, Reubens, Studi, Garofalo and Mitchell as seven lame superhero wannabes, who are called upon to use their dubious "powers" to save a bustling metropolis when Champion City's beloved real superhero-protector, Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), is kidnapped. The wannabe heroes square off against the vile villain, Casanova Frankenstein (Academy AwardÒ winner Geoffrey Rush), and his beautiful sidekick, Dr. Anabel Leek (Lena Olin), as they try to stop Casanova's dastardly plot to take over the city.
