Parodying a dystopic future of the United States in 2173, the film involves the misadventures of the owner of a health food store who is cryogenically frozen in 1973 and defrosted 200 years later in an ineptly led police state. Contemporary politics and pop culture are satirized throughout the film, which includes tributes to the classic comedy of Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin. Many elements of notable works of science fiction are also paid tribute to, or parodied. ## Credits - **Director:** [Woody Allen](https://cinepixo.com/people/woody-allen) - **Screenplay:** [Woody Allen](https://cinepixo.com/people/woody-allen), [Marshall Brickman](https://cinepixo.com/people/marshall-brickman) - **Original Music Composer:** [Woody Allen](https://cinepixo.com/people/woody-allen) - **Producer:** [Jack Grossberg](https://cinepixo.com/people/jack-grossberg) - **Director of Photography:** [David M.
