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.
