Futurama: Bender's Big Score

After a brief cancellation scare the Planet Express crew gets back on its feet only to fall prey to a slick crew of con artists who pull off a daring robbery. The plot thickens when the scammers hijack Bender, kick off a wild time hopping scheme, and set off a chain reaction that threatens Earth itself. The team must chase through a tangle of eras and make sense of a universe that bends to greed and clever tricks. Along the way, familiar faces clash with new twists, and old loyalties are tested as Fry, Leela, and the rest attempt to outwit the intruders without losing what they care about most. No spoilers, just chaos and humor.

Directed by Dwayne Carey-Hill this 2007 Futurama feature presents an original story credited to Matt Groening, David X Cohen and Ken Keeler. It was released as a direct to video film and later aired during the revival era. Billy West and the core voice cast return.

Box office: released directly to video rather than in theaters, with no worldwide gross reported. It aired on television as part of the Futurama revival cycle, so traditional box numbers do not apply.
