The plot of the movie follows the misadventures of a group of skydivers, who are hired by a mysterious businessman named Franklin, to perform a series of dangerous and daring stunts. However, things take a dark turn when it becomes clear that Franklin has ulterior motives, and is using the skydivers as a cover for his illegal activities.

As the skydivers become increasingly embroiled in the shady dealings of their employer, they find themselves drawn into a web of deceit and danger, with only their trusty parachutes and each other to rely on.

The film is notable for its clever humor, which is centered around a unique feature of the series, a "Mystery Science Theater" style commentary track, where the characters make witty comments and snarky jokes about the events unfolding on screen.

This feature is highlighted by the use of puppets and caricatured characters, including the main protagonist, Mike Nelson, who is portrayed as an affable, good-natured everyman, and his robotic companions, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot.

Together, they form a hilarious trio of commentators, who provide a running counterpoint to the action on screen, as well as a sharp parody of the often ridiculous tropes found in sci-fi, fantasy and horror films.

The Skydivers episode is one of the most beloved of the entire series, known for its sharp writing, witty one-liners, and hilarious improvised skits between Mike, Tom, and Crow.

While the film itself may be forgettable and somewhat clunky, the MST3K treatment turns it into a hilarious, must-see, experience, that is both clever and entertaining.

Overall, Mystery Science Theater 3000- The Skydivers is a lighthearted, silly and ultimately enjoyable film that will delight fans of the show and newcomers alike. Its mix of comedy, action, and satire make it a perfect choice for casual viewing, and a great way to pass an afternoon with friends.
