Everyone has bad mornings. You wake up late, you stub your toe, you burn
the toast...but for a man named Arthur Dent, this goes far beyond a bad
day. When he learns that a friend of his is actually an alien with advanced
knowledge of Earth's impending destruction, he is transported off the Earth
seconds before it is exploded to make way for a new hyperspace motorway.
And as if that's not enough, throw in being wanted by the police, Earth II,
an insane electronic encyclopedia, no tea whatsoever, a chronically
depressed robot and the search for the meaning of life, and you've got the
greatest adventure off Earth.
Arthur Dent is a British everyman. When he finally meets his perfect woman
he balks at her request to go some place and she is then stolen away from
him by a man claiming to have his own spaceship arrives at the party.
Arthur next finds that his home is to be demolished for a bypass. He thinks
it is only his house, but later realizes, with the help of Ford Prefect,
that his galactic home, Earth, is going to be destroyed as well. Ford and
Arthur then catch a ride on a spaceship and are Arthur finds himself on the
adventure of a lifetime. He also finds the woman stolen away from him and
the man who pilfered her. If Earth can be restored will Arthur want to ease
back into his boring life?
Everyman Arthur Dent is whisked off the Earth seconds before it is
demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Sadly, his day has only
just begun. Before it's over, he will have been blown up, attended a poetry
reading, been thrown out of an airlock, rescued, reunited with the love of
his life, shot at, had a fish stuck in his ear, insulted, whacked,
sickened, deprived of tea, learned the answer to the ultimate question, and
almost had his brain sawed out by mice. He then goes to have lunch.
Waking up one morning, a British man named Arthur Dent awakes and find his
house is going to be demolished. But for Arthur, the demolition of his
house is only the beginning, Arthur's friend eccentric Ford Prefect reveals
to Earth that he is not human and he is a alien from a planet called
Bettleguise and is a researcher of a electronic book called "The
Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Ford saves Arthur when Earth is wiped
out by the Vogons who have demolished the Earth to make way for a new
intergalactic motorway. Embarking on a intergalactic adventure, Arthur and
Ford are joined by two-headed former president of the galaxy, Zaphod
Beeblebrox, intelligent human woman Trillian and Marvin, a depressed
android, travels across the galaxy on-board Zaphod's stolen spaceship
"Heart of Gold". Where they set out to discover the meaning of life and
travel to the newly constructed Earth II, where Slartibartfast reveals the
truth about the original Earth, that was destroyed by the Vogons.
