Synopsis

Billy Pilgrim, an optometrist and World War II veteran, becomes 'unstuck in time,' experiencing moments of his life out of order, including his survival of the firebombing of Dresden and his abduction by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. Vonnegut blends autobiography, science fiction, and dark humor to create an unforgettable anti-war meditation.
