Does a sheet of reflective Mylar contain any metal?

On a recent edition of Time magazine is a sheet of what they say is Mylar. It looks just like metal foil. It acts as a good mirror whichever angle you hold it, so total internal reflection isn't involved. Is it just clear plastic backed by a metal film? If not, how does it work?
