The plot of Space Jam revolves around the famous basketball team of Chicago Bulls.

On the other hand, far away in another planet Mr. Swackhammer sends five tiny aliens known as Nerdlucks to go to Looney Tune Land. This place is named Moron Mountain, which is an outer space theme park
But in the movie, Space Jam we find the Looney Tunes plotting their escape to get rid from the exploitation of Mr. Swackhammer. One of them named Bugs Bunny therefore challenged the Nerdlucks to a basketball game. But through unfair means the Nerdlucks steal the talents of famous basketball players like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, and Shawn Bradley.
