Office Space is a 1999 American comedy film satirizing work life in a typical 1990s software company. Written and directed by Mike Judge, it focuses on a handful of individuals fed up with their jobs portrayed by Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Gary Cole, David Herman, Ajay Naidu, and Diedrich Bader.
The film's sympathetic depiction of ordinary IT workers garnered a cult following within that field, but also addresses themes familiar to white collar employees in general.
Shot in Las Colinas and Austin, Texas, Office Space is based on Judge's Milton cartoon series. It was his first foray into live action film and second full length motion picture release.
The promotional campaign for Office Space featured the familiar Beavis and Butt-head tagline 'Work Sucks', reinforcing Judge's debut in the animated Beavis and Butt-head Do America.
While not a box office success, the film sold well on DVD and VHS, and has become recognized as a cult classic.
