Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

1996 · 73 min

A gleefully silly, joke-dense ride where wisecracking characters mock a cheesy old sci-fi movie, making it feel like a fun hangout with witty friends.

Tagline
Every year Hollywood makes hundreds of movies. This is one of them!
Overview
In the not-too-distant future, the evil Dr. Forrester forces a temp named Mike into a series of experiments, where he's forced to watch cheesy movies so the mad scientist can monitor his mind. However, as Mike can't control where the movies begin or end, he'll try to keep his sanity with the help of his robot friends.
