Plot Details:
The movie begins with Stewie inventing the Reality Remote 3000, designed to explore parallel universes. Peter, ignoring Stewie’s warnings, activates it, sending the Griffins spiraling into various alternate dimensions. Each family member gets trapped in a world that reflects exaggerated versions of their personalities. Lois becomes a fearless resistance leader in a dystopian future, Chris turns into a brave yet clueless knight, and Meg is stuck in a cliché high school rom-com. Meanwhile, Brian wanders through a black-and-white noir detective world.
To restore balance, Peter teams up with Dr. Harlan Kraft (Kevin James), a disgraced scientist familiar with Stewie’s inventions. Stewie faces his evil doppelgänger, who seeks to conquer all realities. The climactic battle involves reality collapsing as universes merge. Peter accidentally saves the day by smashing the device with a beer bottle, but Quahog is left altered, filled with strange new characters and oddities.
