Team America: World Police is a 2004 comedy film, written by Pam Brady, Trey Parker and Matt Stone and directed by Trey Parker, who are also known for the popular animated series South Park. The film is a parody of romantics and their associated cliches and stereotypes, the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the resulting war, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of American politics, unilateralism and jingoism. The title of the movie itself is derived from domestic and international political criticisms that the U.S. frequently and autonomously tries to "police the world".

The film, which features a cast entirely composed of marionettes, focuses on a fictional team of political para-militarists, or political policemen (like Storm Troopers) known as "Team America: World Police," who attempt to save the world from a violent terrorist plot led by Kim Jong-il. The film was primarily inspired by Thunderbirds, a popular television show created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson which also featured an all-marionette cast, though Stone and Parker were not fans of the show. Like Parker and Stone's South Park, the film was subject to much critical and political debate, receiving praise for its humor and satire while also drawing controversy for its simplification of current issues. The film also drew controversy due to an extended sex scene between two of the film's puppet characters.

The film was released in the United States on October 15, 2004 and, despite receiving mostly positive reviews, was a box office disappointment, barely recollecting its production budget and failing to exceed the performance of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. The film was released on DVD in the United States on May 17, 2005, available in both R-rated and Unrated versions.
