Pizza delivery guy, Philip Fry, accidently cryogenically freezes himself on December 31, 1999. He wakes up 1000 years later in the bizarre world of New New York. With this unexpected chance at a fresh start, Fry gets a job at the Planet Express Corporation--a company that delivers packages to all five quadrants of the universe. With the allbeit sometimes grudging assistance of Leela, the beautiful, one-eyed, kick-butt starship captain, and Bender, a robot with more human vices than most humans, Fry attempts to get the hang of living in 31st century.
