Fashion mogul Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell) is charged by the fashion industry to find a male fashion model who can be brainwashed in order to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia at an upcoming fashion show in order to retain cheap child labor in that country. Mugatu, with help from model agent Maury Ballstein (Jerry Stiller), selects for the task the dim-witted but good-natured Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), formerly the top male fashion model in the world but displaced by the up-and-coming Hansel (Owen Wilson) at the latest VH1 Fashion Awards. After losing his fellow male model colleagues in a “freak gasoline-fight accident,” Derek announces his plan to retire from modelling and returns home to his father Spencer (Jon Voight) and brothers and tries to work alongside them in the coal mines, but is rejected by his family and returns to New York City.
Mugatu offers Derek a role in the upcoming “Derelicte” fashion show—a show inspired by the homeless vagrants of New York—and brings him to a day spa to help him prepare for the show. Journalist Matilda Jeffries (Christine Taylor), who wrote a derogatory article in Time on Derek after his loss to Hansel, becomes concerned for Derek due to the impact of the article, and starts following him. She also becomes suspicious of Mugatu suddenly taking an interest in Derek after refusing to even let him model for him in the past, her suspicions seeming to be confirmed when she fails to find any information regarding Mugatu’s past and she receives anonymous calls from a man who tips her off about Mugatu’s “spa”. Matilda follows the tip and sees Derek go into the supposed day spa, but before she can investigate, she is thrown out by Mugatu’s tough female assistant, Katinka Ingabogovinanana (Milla Jovovich). In reality, the “spa” that Derek has been taken to is in fact a brainwashing facility, where he is programmed to attack and kill the Prime Minister when Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s song “Relax” is played at the Derelicte show.
After finding Derek in his apartment after he’d been missing for a week, Matilda tries to warn Derek of her suspicions, but is ignored. She follows him to a pre-runway party where he runs into Hansel and challenges him to a “walk-off”, judged by David Bowie. After Derek loses to Hansel once again, Matilda takes him with her to escape Katinka, who believes that Matilda may discover the truth and compromise the entire assassination attempt. While escaping, Matilda receives another call from her anonymous source who tells her to meet him at Saint Adonis Cemetery. Her source reveals himself to be former hand model J.P. Prewett (David Duchovny) and tells Derek and Matilda of the fashion industry’s influence on political events such as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy and that Derek’s life is in danger as the models are killed shortly after they complete their task. They are then forced to flee the cemetery when they are attacked by Katinka and her aides. Matilda realizes that she must hide Derek at the last place Mugatu would think to look, Hansel’s house. Derek and Matilda arrive at the residence of Hansel where they explain to him their situation and asks if he can take them in. Hansel tells them that they can stay, but only after he and Derek resolve the conflict between them. While discussing this, Hansel tells Derek that he only held a grudge against him because he was intimidated by him and that in reality, he idolized Derek. While drinking with Derek and Hansel, Matilda reveals that the reason for her dislike of models is because she was overweight as a child and felt even worse about herself when she saw beautiful models in magazines to the point where she became bulimic. Hansel decides to cheer Matilda up by having an orgy, where Derek realizes that he is falling in love with her. Read more
