See Woody Allen\u2019s slapstick vision of the future in one of his funniest films.<\/i><\/p>\n

Swank Motion Pictures describes Sleeper<\/i> as the story of health-food store owner Miles Monroe (Woody Allen) who enters the hospital for a routine gall bladder operation. When he expires on the operating table, Miles’ sister requests permission to cryogenically freeze her brother’s body. After 200 years, Miles is unwrapped by a group of scientists and awakens to a “brave new world” of deadening conformity, ruled with an iron fist by a never-seen leader. <\/i>Miles is forced to flee for his life when the scientists — actually a group of revolutionary activists — are overpowered by the leader’s police.\u00a0 Stop in to find out what happens next\u2026<\/p>\n
