Be Kind Rewind, is a nan-and-pop video store where Mike (Mos Def) works for Mr Fletcher (Danny Glover). His friend Jerry (Jack Black) works in an auto garage/junkyard next to a power plant he blames for his paranoia and imagined brain tumour. After an attempt to sabotage the plant, Jerry's brain becomes magnetized. Unintentionally, he destroys every tape in his friends store. To keep from disappointing his loyal customers and his boss, Mike recruits Jerry to help him remake the lost films, which include Back to the future, Rush hour, The Lion King and Robocop. Soon after, the store is shut down and threatened with copyright infractions. The junkyard soon becomes the community studio as the neighbourhood pitches in to create a film based on tall tales of a local jazz legend in hopes of saving Be Kind Rewind.
