But when a mysterious villain from his past—Brigadier Commander Enos Queeth (Billy Zane) –  has the world in his crosshairs, MacGruber will have to reunite with Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) to save the day… without killing himself, Vicki, or Dixon in the process (a tall order, we're sure).
