Accidentally frozen, pizza-deliverer Fry wakes up 1,000 years in the future. He is taken in by his sole descendant, an elderly and addled scientist who owns a small cargo delivery service. Among the other crew members are Capt. Leela, accountant Hermes, intern Amy, obnoxious robot Bender and lobsterlike moocher "Dr." Zoidberg.
Leela is reunited with an orphan-turned-plastic surgeon who offers her the appearance of two eyes.
Fry is fed a diet of motor oil at an insane asylum for robots until he comes to believe that he is a robot.
After Bender has a debilitating accident, rock star Beck comes to his aid with a benefit concert.
The professor creates a team of mutants to challenge the fearsome Harlem Globetrotters.
