Summary: Set on the moon in the year 2087, where Pluto Nash is the owner of the hottest nightclub in town. He gets himself in trouble when he refuses to sell his club to a gangster who is helping a mystery man to mastermind a plot to take over the whole moon...

Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy) is the coolest guy on the moon in the year 2080. He is revered by street criminals for his former career as a smuggler of black market Earth goods, and he is admired by the upper crust for his success in running Club Pluto, the trendiest night spot in the city of Little America. But because Pluto is so popular, he is hated by Rex Crater (identity is a spoiler), a mob mogul who runs a corrupt casino, the Lunar Grand, in the nearby city of Moon Beach. When Rex offers to buy out Club Pluto, Nash refuses, and soon he is on the run from a band of Rex's henchmen. Nash's lovely employee, Dina (Rosaria Dawson), and his hilarious robot bodyguard, Bruno (Randy Quaid), are with him all the way as Nash dawns his space suit and sets out across the moon. The threesome are chased through the moonscape and eventually find themselves back at Lunar Grand where they must finally settle their score with Rex Crater. With high-action car races, flashy shoot-outs, big explosions, daring stunts, and plenty of comic relief, PLUTO NASH keeps the adventure rolling. An upbeat musical score by John Powell and elaborate futuristic sets and costumes make this Ron Underwood (CITY SLICKERS, TREMORS) film an entertaining treat.

The Adventures of Pluto Nashwas shelved for nearly two years, and when it was finally released, hardly anyone noticed. In the interim, Eddie Murphy made the marginally better Showtimeand started fishing for a career revival that wasn't a sequel to his previous hits. In the satirical, lunar-colony hash of Pluto Nash, Murphy's a variant of Casablanca's Rick Blaine in the year 2087, happily running the moon's hottest nightclub, refusing a buyout offer from a greedy gambler, and suffering the consequences with his sidekick robot (Randy Quaid in yet another thankless role) and newest employee (Rosario Dawson, before doing similar time in Men in Black II). A visual hybrid of Total Recalland A.I., this nearly laughless comedy would be a total write-off if it weren't for Murphy's stalwart attempt to jump-start the flagging humour. He's got the chops of a superstar, but only when his collaborators are on the same page. --Jeff Shannon
