Story: |
After eighteen seasons, four hundred episodes, and innumerable awards and honours (including a
Peabody, 23 Emmys(R) and a designation from Time magazine as the "best television show of the
twentieth century"), "The Simpsons" has become a feature-length motion picture. And it's a good
thing, too, because it takes a wide screen to fully capture Homer Simpson's epic stupidity.
In the eagerly-awaited film based on the hit television series, Homer must save the world from a
catastrophe he himself created. It all begins with Homer, his new pet pig, and a leaky silo full
of droppings - a combination that triggers a disaster the likes of which Springfield has never
experienced. As Marge is outraged by Homer's monumental blunder, a vengeful mob descends on the
Simpson household. The family makes a narrow escape, but is soon divided by both location and conflict.
The Springfield citizenry has every reason to be out for Simpson blood. The calamity triggered by
Homer has drawn the attention of U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger
and Environmental Protection Agency head Russ Cargill. "You know sir,"
Cargill tells the president, "when you made me head of the EPA, you were applauded for appointing
one of the most successful men in America to the least successful agency in government. And why
did I take the job? Because I'm a rich man who wanted to give something back. Not the money, but
something." That "something" is a devil's plan to contain the disaster.
As the fates of Springfield and the world hang in the balance, Homer embarks on a personal odyssey
of redemption - seeking forgiveness from Marge, the reunion of his splintered family, and the
salvation of his hometown.
