Plot

Geeky teenager David and his popular twin sister, Jennifer, get sucked into the black-and-white world of a 1950s TV sitcom called "Pleasantville," and find a world where everything is peachy keen all the time. But when Jennifer's modern attitude disrupts Pleasantville's peaceful but boring routine, she literally brings color into its life.

David Wagner is a kid whose mind is stuck in the 1950s. He's addicted to a classic '50s sitcom television show called "Pleasantville". Pleasantville is a simple place, where all of its citizens are swell and simple-minded folks, where the word "violence" and life outside Pleasantville are unknown to its inhabitants. Things are perfect down in Pleasantville. One evening, the life of David and his obnoxious sister, Jennifer, take a bizarre turn when an eccentric repairman hands them a supposedly magical remote. After a quarrel between the siblings, they inexplicably zap themselves into the world of "Pleasantville". Now, David and Jennifer must adjust to a '50s lifestyle of repressed desires and considerably different societal values while trying to find their way home.
