Plot

Clear the runway for Derek Zoolander, VH1's three-time male model of the year. His face falls when hippie-chic Hansel scooters in to steal this year's award. The evil fashion guru Mugatu seizes the opportunity to turn Derek into a killing machine. It's a well-designed conspiracy and only with the help of Hansel and a few well-chosen accessories like Matilda can Derek make the world safe for male models everywhere.

About Zoolander

Zoolander is a 2001 American action comedy film directed, co-produced, co-written by and starring Ben Stiller. A satire on the fashion industry, the film follows fashion model Derek Zoolander (Stiller) who is tricked by fashion mogul Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell) into assassinating the Prime Minister of Malaysia, whose progressive laws on the fashion industry would harm his businesses. The cast also features Owen Wilson, Christine Taylor, Milla Jovovich, Jerry Stiller and Jon Voight. The film contains elements from a pair of short films directed by Russell Bates and written by Drake Sather and Ben Stiller for the VH1 Fashion Awards television specials in 1996 and 1997. Zoolander was released to theatres by Paramount Pictures on September 28, 2001. It received generally positive reviews and was a box-office success, grossing $60.8 million against a $28 million budget. A sequel, Zoolander 2, was released in February 2016. An animated film follow-up, Zoolander: Super Model, was released on Netflix in the UK in August 2016.
