The directorial debut of filmmaker
Jared Hess, who also co-wrote the screenplay,
Napoleon Dynamite is a quirky, offbeat
comedy set in the small Idaho town of Preston.
Jon Heder stars in the titular role, a carrot-topped oddball with a decidedly eccentric family that includes his llama-loving, dune-buggy enthusiast grandmother. The story centers on the local high school's race for class president. Using some nontraditional means,
Napoleon is determined to help his pal
Pedro (
Efrem Ramirez) run a winning campaign and defeat popular girl
Summer (
Haylie Duff). Also starring
The Drew Carey Show's
Diedrich Bader,
Napoleon Dynamite premiered at the
2004 Sundance Film Festival.
