Zoolander is a 2001 American action comedy film directed by Ben Stiller. The film contains elements from a pair of short films directed by Russell Bates and written by Drake Sather and Stiller for the VH1 Fashion Awards television specials in 1996 and 1997. The earlier short films and this film feature a dimwitted, narcissistic male model named Derek Zoolander. In the film, top people in the fashion industry, Jacobim Mugatu and Derek's agent Maury Ballstein, are hired by other executives to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia, who will pass progressive laws that would harm their businesses. Mugatu and Ballstein plan to brainwash Zoolander into killing him. Meanwhile, Zoolander has several personal and career issues, including declining popularity, disappointment in his career choice from his family, and trying to find his true purpose which he suspects is not being a model.
