Part of SNL Cinematic Universe and Midnight Movies
Only one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, and only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet. In the 10 years since his fiancée (Maya Rudolph) was killed, special op MacGruber (Will Forte) has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that’s been stolen by his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer), MacGruber teams up with his trusty sidekick (Kristen Wiig) and an uptight lieutenant (Ryan Phillippe) to get the job done. The trio sets out on a rampage of utter destruction in this explosive, over-the-top action comedy based on the popular recurring SNL sketch produced by Lorne Michaels and directed by The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone.
