"Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" is a 1997 American spy comedy film directed by Jay Roach and starring Mike Myers, who also wrote the screenplay. The film parodies the James Bond spy films and the 1960s spy genre, featuring a retro-futuristic aesthetic and a groovy soundtrack.

The film follows the adventures of the titular character, Austin Powers, a British spy who is cryogenically frozen in 1967 and awakened in the 1990s to fight his arch-nemesis, Dr. Evil. Dr. Evil, a criminal mastermind with a bald head and a cat named Mr. Bigglesworth, has also been cryogenically frozen and has returned to threaten the world with a nuclear weapon, unless he is paid a ransom of one million dollars.

The film features a number of memorable characters, including Austin's sidekick, Vanessa Kensington (played by Elizabeth Hurley), his boss, Basil Exposition (played by Michael York), and a number of hilarious supporting characters played by Mike Myers, such as the Scottish henchman, Number 2, and the eccentric Dr. Evil.

The film was a commercial success and has since become a cult classic, spawning two sequels, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "Austin Powers in Goldmember", as well as a number of popular catchphrases and references. "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" is known for its irreverent humor, over-the-top performances, and iconic soundtrack, which includes songs such as "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones and "Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock.
