"Drawing on the great tradition of silent comedy, Sleeper is Woody Allen's first film to tame his verbal wit and showcase his emerging skill with visual and physical comedy ... When cryogenically preserved Miles Monroe is awakened 200 years after a hospital mishap, he discovers the future's not so bright: all women are frigid, all men are impotent, and the world is ruled by an evil dictator ... a disembodied nose! Pursued by the secret police and recruited by anti-government rebels with a plan to kidnap the dictator's snout before it can be cloned, Miles falls for the beautiful--but untalented--poet Luna. But when Miles is captured and reprogrammed by the government--to believe he's Miss America!--it's up to Luna to save Miles, lead the rebels, and cut off the nose ... just to spite its face."--Container.
