Although producing a live Christmas Eve broadcast of A Christmas Carol, IBC-TV president Frank Cross (Bill Murray), known for his cynicism, selfishness, stinginess, and temper tantrums, couldn't care less about Christmas, considering it a "crock" suitable only for kids. On the night before Christmas eve, Frank is visited by the ghost of his deceased boss Lew Hayward (John Forsythe), who warns him that, if he does not change his scrooge-like ways, he will end up doomed. Thereafter, Frank is visited by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past (David Johansen), the Ghost of Christmas Present (Carol Kane), and the Ghost of Christmas Future (Robert Hammond). Each of them show Frank a segment of his life and introduce him to the spirit of Christmas as displayed by his brother James (John Murray) and the family of his secretary Grace Cooley (Alfre Woodard) and Grace's mute son, Calvin (Nicholas Phillips).
Scrooged is a modernized spoof of English author Charles Dicken's classic 1843 novella A Christmas Carol (full title: A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas). The novella was adapted for the movie by American screenwriters Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue.
