Plot summary

CinéMagique featured George (Martin Short) finding himself within scenes of various movies. He eventually ends up aboard the Titanic from the film, only to see the ship hitting an iceberg. As passengers start running to the escape boats, George hears Jack Dawson calling for his life, and reaches a corridor of doors to find him. He opens random doors, each one revealing someone else behind. Then, as the water was flooding the corridor, the wall George is standing against opens up and he stumbles into the Death Star from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

After falling on a mouse droid and causing it to flee, he is grabbed by a Stormtrooper just in time to elude Darth Vader walking down the corridor. This helpful stormtrooper is revealed to be the character Marguerite (Julie Delpy) before real stormtroopers start chasing them through the space station, and they re-enact the scene of Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker using a rope to traverse the chasm. They continue to interact in other movie scenes before the film ends.^[5]
