Mere seconds before the Earth is to be demolished by an alien construction crew, Arthur Dent is swept off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher penning a new edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

VIBE

This film feels like a cheerfully chaotic journey through the cosmos, brimming with droll British humor and a wonderfully absurd outlook on existence. It's a whimsical, propulsive adventure that manages to be both deeply silly and surprisingly philosophical, inviting you to ponder the universe's grand questions with a knowing chuckle.
