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. (Umbrella Entertainment)
