Groundhog Day [videorecording] / Columbia Pictures presents ; a Trevor Albert production ; a Harold Ramis film ; story by Danny Rubin ; screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis ; produced by Trevor Albert and Harold Ramis ; directed by Harold Ramis.
There is an old belief that everyone is rewarded with the heaven or hell that he deserves. For Phil, the nasty, self-centered weather forecaster in "Groundhog Day," that hell reveals itself one morning in the Groundhog Capitol of the USA, Punxsutawney, Pa. He has journeyed there to do a remote broadcast about his namesake, the groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, and wakes up the next morning in the same bed, with the radio playing the same song, and it gradually becomes clear to him that he is reliving precisely the same day. It will be Groundhog Day again tomorrow, too, and on the day after that. Finally, Phil begins to ponder the question "What would you do if you were stuck in one place, and everything that you did was the same, and nothing mattered?"
