Shredderman Rules is a 2007 television teen film based on Wendelin Van Draanen's Shredderman book series. It originally aired on Nickelodeon along with the series finale episode of Ned's Declassified on June 9, 2007, and had 3.9 million viewers. The film is also the first film to be aired under the Nickelodeon Original Movie banner.
The film stars Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide's Devon Werkheiser as Nolan Byrd (also known as "Shredderman"). Shredderman Rules chronicles Nolan's attempts at stopping Bubba Bixby (Andrew Caldwell) from bullying him by setting up a website with the pen name of "Shredderman."
Devon Werkheiser plays Nolan Byrd, a shy 8th grader who, along with many other kids, is bullied by Bubba Bixby (Andrew Caldwell) When his teacher, Mr. Green (Tim Meadows) announces that he wants his class to do a multimedia project, Nolan decides to do his project on Bubba. Nolan goes undercover, spies on Bubba, films him bullying kids at his school, and airs it on his new website www.shreddermanrules.com.
Nolan takes the name "Shredderman" (because Mr. Green labeled his test with a personal note "You Shred, Man!") because he doesn't want anyone to know he was behind this. Bubba gets in trouble with the principal Dr. Voss (Mindy Sterling) after she sees what Bubba has done. Nolan goes to Bubba's father Bob. He tapes the evils that faculty do around the school, especially that of Dr. Voss, and they get busted.
Nolan soon finds out that Bubba's dad, (Daniel Roebuck) who is the CEO of a waste management company, proposes an urban renewal project that would in reality allow sewage to be dumped into a local pond. Nolan tries to stop it by putting it on his web site, and word quickly spreads about this. Although some agree with the idea (because the pollution of the pond was kept a secret by Bixby's company), Nolan and his friends get together and protest. Nolan does research on the construction and tries to see if he can stop it.
