The movie is about two teenagers who magically gets drawn into the 1950s fictional, black-and-white television sitcom, Pleasantville. The show portrays a very stereotypical image of the 1950s having similar elements to that of “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best.” In Pleasantville, both David and Jennifer are forced to take on the roles of Bud and Mary-Sue, respectively. But as they play along in the perfect and pure little town of Pleasantville, their presence soon influence drastic changes. As the citizens of Pleasantville discover sex, art, books, music and the concept of nonconformity, color erupts in their black-and-white world. Color spreads throughout the town, threatening the Mayor to rid of the sinful/tainted colors, and change Pleasantville back to what it once was.
