Brilliant brain surgeon Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller, Robocop) sits at the threshold of science in his modified Ford F-350 pickup truck, boldly venturing forth into the 8th Dimension. But when Dr. Emilio Lizardo (John Lithgow, Rise of the Planet of The Apes) devises a plot to steal Banzai's Jet Car and bring an evil army of aliens back to destroy Earth, it is up to guitar wielding brain surgeon Banzai to save the universe.
