Buckaroo Banzai (Peter Weller) is a multi-talented neurosurgeon, physicist, and rock star who he tests his jet car capable of traveling through solid matter into the 8th Dimension. His successful experiment attracts the attention of the evil alien dictator Lord John Whorfin (John Lithgow) and his Red Lectroid henchmen, who plan to conquer Earth. With the help of his eclectic team, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, and the benevolent Black Lectroids, Buckaroo devises a plan to stop Whorfin, leading to a high-stakes showdown.
