Those with a penchant for novelty movies are sure to enjoy this madcap sci-fi adventure story directed by W.D. Richter and starring Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin and Jeff Goldblum. Buckaroo Banzai, a super-hero and scientist, discovers that extraterrestrials landed on earth in 1938, have assumed human form, and are trying to get hold of an "Oscillation Overthruster" to take them back to Planet 10. Can our hero stop these outsiders? Will the other aliens from Planet 10 destroy Earth just to make sure that Dr. Lizardo and his men don't return home? This offbeat movie is filled with colorful characters, a multi-leveled plot, and a gee-whiz approach to pop culture.
