Seth Rogen stars as Herschel Greenbaum, a 1920s struggling laborer who immigrates to America with dreams of building a better life for his beloved family. One day, while working at his factory job, he falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years. The pickle brine preserves him perfectly, and when he emerges in present day Brooklyn, he finds that he hasn’t aged a day.
