Plot summary
On the Moon in 2087, Pluto Nash owns Club Pluto, a nightclub he runs in the Little America colony. He bought the place years earlier to keep its previous owner, his friend Anthony Frankowski, away from mobsters. A stranded visitor, Dina Lake, whose father was a friend of Pluto's, needs money for a trip back to Earth, so he hires her as a server. Two of Rex Crater's men, Mogan and Kelp, come to the club with an offer to buy it. Pluto says no, and they bomb the place. Pluto, Dina and the android Bruno get away. Mogan and Kelp answer to the entrepreneur Rex Crater, who is working on a plan to take over the Moon, and Pluto and Dina begin looking into him.

- An Ain't It Cool News review of a version with no special effects, published in January 2001, spooked Castle Rock Entertainment into ordering two weeks of reshoots in Los Angeles; the budget rose to $100 million and the film missed its planned April 2001 release.
- Eddie Murphy kept rejecting the revised scripts during months of rewrites, according to director Ron Underwood; Murphy asked for a "straight" script such as Sylvester Stallone or Harrison Ford might get and promised to "bring the comedy."
- The Adventures of Pluto Nash grossed only $7.1 million against a $100 million budget and is considered one of the biggest box office bombs of all time.
