Released in 1994, The Mask is based on the Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. The story centers on Stanley Ipkiss, whose life changes dramatically after he finds a magical Norse mask that releases his suppressed desires and transforms him into a manic, invincible trickster. As “The Mask,” Stanley attracts trouble from gangsters while winning the attention of nightclub singer Tina Carlyle. Directed by Chuck Russell, the film mixes slapstick comedy with superhero-style action and cutting-edge CGI. Jim Carrey’s explosive performance, paired with inventive visuals, helped redefine comedy films of the era. The movie became a massive box-office success and remains a beloved cult classic.
