""Lamont Cranston" (Alec Baldwin) was a murderous opium dealer who was brought to a Tibetan mystic who knew his true identity. He was taught for seven years how to "cloud the minds of men" to where they only see his ("Cranston") shadow. After his training, he goes to 1930's New York City, where he assumes the role of a playboy by day, and the vigilante known simply as "The Shadow" by night who uses a network of what he calls "agents" to keep him informed on "what evil lurks in the hearts of men." One of those in his network is a cab driver (Peter Boyal), who drives "The Shadow" around the city. "The Shadow" has been fighting the local gangsters -- until now. "Shiwan Khan" (John Lone), the last descendant of Ghengis Khan, who was also received the same training by the mystic.

"The Spirit drove straight into Tanksville last weekend, earning only $6.5 million dollars. But before we can claim that we saw it coming and gloat over its still-warm corpse, it might just be a sign that old-school comic book / radio / serial heroes just can’t make it with today’s audiences. Why is it that Batman and Superman can rake in hundreds of millions of dollars, but heroes that are arguably just as interesting end up tanking at the box office? Producers have tried to revive the nostalgic exploits of the cadre of “The” named heroes of yesteryear ranging from The Lone Ranger to The Shadow, but each time the box office take has been far less than the studios had hoped for, and the grand plans for a franchise of movies, action figure tie-ins, and a breakfast cereal get canceled. Below is a list of the high-profile attempts to revive old heroes that have fallen flat on their masked faces.

"I’m pretty sure I am not related to actor Bill Campbell, but I am sure that we think alike, at least when it comes to desires for a Rocketeer sequel. Campbell, who starred as the title character in Disney’s 1991 superhero adventure, tells MTV Movies Blog that he’s still interested in the idea of a Rocketeer 2: ???I was talking to [writer] Dave Stevens just the night before last. We always talked about having a sequel,??? Campbell confessed. ???[Unfortunately] the movie didn???t make as much money as Disney had hoped and that coupled with the acrimonious relationship that the director [Joe Johnston] and the studio had contributed to them not even considering it.??? Yes, like Timothy Dalton in that awesome clip above, The Rocketeer unfortunately crashed and burned. And considering its been almost 17 years since the first film and there’s been nothing to indicate the public is more interested in pulpy period superheroes than "
