A cable hookup that will completely dismantle your life

The story follows a young architect named Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), who moves into a new apartment following a rough breakup and calls the cable company. Entering his life is an eccentric, overbearing, and deeply lonely technician who calls himself **Chip Douglas** (Jim Carrey). Steven makes a fatal mistake—he slips Chip a fifty-dollar bill for some illegal free premium channels and accepts his offer to hang out. Chip fastens onto Steven like a parasitic tick. When Steven tries to set boundaries and back away from the unhinged relationship, the Cable Guy transforms into a dangerous stalker who uses his tech-savvy access to systematically ruin Steven's career, relationships, and sanity.

💡 Fun Facts from Production

• A Historic, Record-Breaking Paycheck: Jim Carrey made Hollywood history with this film. He became the very first actor in cinema history to receive an astronomical flat fee of $20 million for a single movie, completely resetting the salary baseline for top-tier Hollywood megastars.
• Real Weapon Combat: The famous scene at the "Medieval Times" dinner theater, where Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick duel with heavy medieval weaponry, was filmed entirely without stunt doubles. Carrey threw himself into the fight with such intense energy that he accidentally bruised Broderick during rehearsals.
• Improvising on the Court: The scene where Chip plays a rough game of basketball and shatters the glass backboard with a slam dunk was ad-libbed by Carrey. Carrey wasn't a skilled basketball player, so director Ben Stiller just let him play chaotically, and the crew shattered the glass using a remote detonator.
• Stellar Comedy Cameos: Director Ben Stiller loaded the supporting cast with his close comedy-circuit friends. The film features early-career appearances from future superstars like Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, and even Ben Stiller himself playing a twin murderer in the TV background news.
