## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

MacGruber returns from forced retirement, presumably with a side of rust and questionable life choices, to stop a flamboyant German villain from detonating a nuke in the nation’s capital.  
Turns out heroics are harder when your training involved excessive nunchuck practice and a deep distrust of authority figures named Dieter.  
The film wisely leans into its own absurdity rather than pretending action movies make sense.

**Mood tags**: playful
