Synopsis

It is December 1999 and Fry, a pizza delivery guy, is accidentally cryogenically frozen. He wakes up a thousand years later, just as it is about to become the year 3000. He is told his perfect life job fit is... delivery boy! Not content to be just a delivery boy in the future, he flees before his career chip can be implanted by Leela, an alien Cyclops. During his escape, he meets Bender, a depressed robot. He seeks out his great-great-great-great-great nephew, Professor Farnsworth. The professor hires Fry and Leela to work for his intergalactic delivery service, with Bender along as well. Fry is now an interplanetary delivery boy, but he's happy about it.
