High-spirited high jinks on Christmas Eve put Frank Cross (Bill Murray) in a ghostly time warp in this hilarious take-off of Charles Dickens? ?A Christmas Carol.? Cross, who has made the meteoric rise from the depths of the mailroom to TV network president, is mean, nasty, uncaring, unforgiving and has a sadistic sense of humor - perfect qualities for a modern-day Scrooge.
Synopsis: Holiday tale of redemption about a hard-hearted, hard-charging TV exec who cans the entire cast of a bombing production of A Christmas Carol, but gets the gift of a new outlook on life after three ghosts shake him down on Christmas Eve.
