Pleasantville (1998) follows siblings David and Jennifer, who find themselves in a heated debate over their weekend TV viewing. David is eager to watch a marathon of his beloved 1950s sitcom, while Jennifer prefers MTV for a date. Their argument leads to a broken remote, prompting a peculiar TV repairman to deliver a new one. As they resume their dispute, the new remote inexplicably transports them into the monochrome universe of the show they were arguing about. Inside this world, David and Jennifer assume the identities of Bud and Mary Sue Parker, teenagers in an idealized nuclear family within a town where nothing ever changes. However, Jennifer's introduction of sex into Pleasantville disrupts the town's delicate equilibrium. Residents begin to defy traditions, engage in new experiences, and even read books that were previously blank, causing them to burst into color. This transformation sparks a backlash from the town's conservative faction, who form a mob to suppress these 'Coloreds' and restore their established order.
