To save their home from foreclosure, two TV producers (Oscar and Brett) bet on races, plan a robbery, and consult with the mob. Framed through a behind the scenes look at community television, eight film school grads, a small time mob boss, and a full-time Muppet desperately try to save their home and their way of life by making "TV: the Movie". Fusing documentary footage with fictional scenes, "TV: the Movie" invites its viewers on a deconstructive journey through reality and illusion.
