DVD Synopsis

Eddie Murphy gets way, way out in this futuristic sci-fi comedy. In the year 2087, the Earth's natural resources have been largely depleted, and an increasingly large number of people have taken up residence on the moon, where the pioneering attitude of the new residents has created a culture not unlike the old west. Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy) is one such lunar exile who formerly made his living outside the law, but has since gone straight and now runs the hippest nightclub in the moon colony known as "Little America." Pluto is approached by Mogan (Joe Pantoliano), a gangster who wants to buy the nightclub; Pluto has no interest in selling, but it seems Mogan isn't about to take no for an answer. Pluto also discovers Mogan is in cahoots with Max Crater, a crime boss whose goal is to take over the entire moon. The Adventures of Pluto Nash also features Randy Quaid as Pluto's robot bodyguard, Rosario Dawson as a naive singer who has just arrived on the moon, Peter Boyle as Rowland the pool hustler, Jay Mohr as old-school lounge singer Tony Francis, Illeana Douglas as a cloning technician, and Pam Grier as Pluto's mother. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Ron Underwood's sci-fi comedy The Adventures of Pluto Nash comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a music video, a making-of featurette on the video, deleted scenes, the theatrical trailer, and additional extras for those with access to a DVD-ROM drive. No matter what one thinks of the film itself, this is a solid release from Warner Bros. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Appealing little movie, a couple smiles, nothing side-splitting, different sort of setting. I know this movie was on the shelf for a couple years before release, but I still like it. It's a lightweight story that probably cost a lot to produce and was never going to make it back.

We loved this movie..Eddie Murphy is in the future on another planet playing a duo role.
Randy Quaid as a robot is great and such a loyal servant!!
It is a must see!
We have watched it so many times we can recite the lines word for word.
