The
greatest hero ever assembled. It's a comedy with a thousand moving parts! Wowser -- it's Walt Disney
Pictures' live-action family comedy "Inspector Gadget." Based on the popular
cartoon character of the same name, "Inspector Gadget" is a wild and quirky
adventure comedy about a somewhat-naive security guard who is literally
blown to pieces by the nefarious Dr. Claw. A sexy scientist named Brenda
Bradford rebuilds him into a man of many talents and accessories. Using
his vast array of grafted-on gizmos to bust bad guys, Gadget is out to
fulfill his dream of becoming the world's top detective. As he penetrates
Riverton City's darkest underworld, he unwittingly discovers that the man
who blew him apart also happens to be the villain who murdered Brenda's
father! The often-clueless Inspector Gadget must use all his common sense
and robotic parts to crack the case -- and save not only his good name,
but the world.
