Wayne's World is a 1992 comedy film starring Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell and Dana Carvey as Garth Algar, hosts of a cable access television show (called Wayne's World) from Aurora, Illinois. The movie was adapted from a popular sketch of the same name on NBC's Saturday Night Live. The film grossed US$121.6 million in its theatrical run, placing it as the eighth highest grossing film of 1992 and easily the highest grossing movie ever based on a Saturday Night Live skit. It was directed by Penelope Spheeris with Myers co-writing the script.

Wayne's World also featured Rob Lowe, Tia Carrere, and Lara Flynn Boyle. Other appearances include Brian Doyle-Murray, Robert Patrick (spoofing his role in Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Ed O'Neill, Ione Skye, Chris Farley (his first film role), Meat Loaf, and Alice Cooper.

Wayne's World received mostly positive reviews upon release and was commercially successful (unlike many Saturday Night Live-based films). It was followed by Wayne's World 2. In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Wayne's World the 41st greatest comedy film of all time. The success of the film and its sequel led a street in Draper, Utah, to be named "Wayne's World Drive." Draper is approximately 20 minutes south of Salt Lake City.

Wayne and Garth's hobbies included playing street hockey, hanging out at Stan Mikita's doughnut shop (an in-joke on Tim Hortons, a popular Canadian doughnut shop and fast food restaurant also named after a hockey player), avoiding Wayne's ex-girlfriend Stacy, (whom he refers to as a "psycho hose beast"), and watching local bands perform at "Gas Works", an Aurora hard rock club. (Gas Works was also a Canadian in-joke; it was the name of a real Toronto live music nightclub in the late 1970s and early 1980s which primarily booked hard rock bands.)

The movie was filled with pop culture references and also started a few catch phrases like "Not!", "Party on!", and "Schwing!". It augmented the slacker language of Generation X much like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure had done previously. The movie was also one of the most prominent films featuring a dubiously styled baby blue AMC Pacer with flames and non-matching wheels from the 1970s, which they dub the "Mirth Mobile".

The film frequently breaks the fourth wall, with Wayne, Garth, and in one occasion, Glenn, the manager of Stan Mikita's Doughnuts, and on another occasion, Benjamin, speaking directly to the audience. Indeed much of the story is carried by Wayne's narration to the camera, in which he offers his thoughts on what's happening in the film. Despite Wayne, Garth, Glenn, and Ben addressing the viewer, no one else seems aware that they are in a film.

The plot involves a scheming businessman named Benjamin (Rob Lowe) and his attempt to buy out the cable access program Wayne's World. When the show is bought out, it is quickly "reinvented", and the changes to the show, as well as Wayne's blossoming relationship with vocalist Cassandra, whose career Benjamin has also taken an interest in, leads to a rift forming between Wayne and Garth.

Wayne's World has multiple endings and anti-plot (the ridicule of common plot techniques). The movie provides two "alternate" endings - a "sad ending" and a "Scooby-Doo ending". These two endings are an alternative to the "Mega-Happy Ending". The sequel makes it clear that the "Mega-Happy Ending" is what actually occurred.

In 1992, a video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Mega Drive game called Wayne's World was created. Wayne and Garth are playable characters.
