The very oddest good movie in many a full moon, Buckaroo Banzai combines humour, imagination, a little oriental mysticism and a host of sharp performances into very chic sc-fi! Oscar® nominees Peter Weller and John Lithgow team with Emmy® winners Ellen Barkin and Christopher Lloyd for a fiendishly cleaver action-packed adventure in an outlandish world you'll want to visit again and again!
Brilliant brain surgeon Banzai (Weller) just made scientific history. Shifting his Oscillation Overthruster into warp speed, he's the first man to ever to travel to the Eight Dimension...and come back sane!. But when his sworn enemy, the demented Dr. Lizardo (Lithgow), devises a plot to steal the Overthruster and bring an evil army of aliens back to destroy Earth, Buckaroo goes cranium to cranium with the madman in an extra-dimensional battle that could result in total annihilation of the Universe! |
