Unikeko (Sleeper, 1973) on Woody Allenin varhaistuotannolle ominainen railakas ja usein höpsö mutta nautittava komedia.Allen esittää neuroottista terveysruokakauppiasta Milesia, joka menee sairaalaan pikku operaation vuoksi ja herääkin vasta vuonna 2173 utopistiselta vaikuttavaan ja nautintoihin keskittyvään totalitaariseen yhteiskuntaan. Miles värvätään väkipakolla vastarintaliikkeeseen, ja hän itse puolestaan kidnappaa mukaan pakomatkalle höpsön runoilijattaren (Diane Keaton).Unikeko kiitää huulesta ja sketsistä toiseen samanlaisella nopeudella kuin Allenin tämän filmin kerronnassa esikuvakseen ottama mykkäelokuvien slapstick-komiikka. Allen irvailee yhtälailla nykyajan ilmiöille kuin tieteiselokuvan kliseille. Samalla Unikeko on mallinäyte Allenin varhaisista vauhtikomedioista, joissa hän ei vielä ollut niin "tosissaan".
