The Mask (1994)

Bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) is a meek, unlucky romantic who stumbles across a mysterious ancient mask. When he puts it on, Stanley transforms into a zoot-suited, green-faced whirlwind with cartoonish powers that defy reality. Emboldened by his alter ego, he goes from timid pushover to larger-than-life trickster, able to bend the laws of physics with sheer imagination.

But power attracts danger. Stanley's wild new persona catches the eye of crime boss Dorian Tyrell, who schemes to steal the mask for himself. With the city descending into chaos and the woman he loves caught in the middle, Stanley must find the courage within—mask or no mask—to stop Tyrell and prove he's more than just an ordinary man. The film blends slapstick comedy, romance, and action into one of the 1990s' most energetic spectacles.
