Plot Summary

Miles, a nebbishy clarinet player who also runs a health food store in NYC's Greenwich Village, is cryogenically frozen, and brought back - 200 years in the future, by anti-government radicals in order to assist them in their attempt to overthrow the oppressive government. When he goes off on his own, he begins to explore this brave new world, which has Orgasmatron booths to replace sex and confessional robots. Written by John Vogel

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Woody Allen originally intended the film to be three hours long and in two parts. The first part would have him in the present day, coping with life until his illness. And the second half would be the futuristic part. But United Artists rejected this concept. See more »
