Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie 1996

As the curtain rises on this cinematic spoof, we find ourselves transported to the foreboding lair of the diabolical Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Bellieu), a mastermind bent on manipulating the masses through his twisted experiments. Sequestered in the depths of Deep 13, the sinister scientist sets the stage for his latest endeavor, which just so happens to involve our unwitting protagonist, Mike Nelson (himself). With a wicked cackle, Dr. Forrester reveals that Mike’s fate is now tied to an experiment designed to test the limits of human endurance – specifically, the ability to suffer through a series of atrocious films from the past few decades. And what better way to kick off this ordeal than with the 1955 sci-fi spectacle “This Island Earth”?
