ActionAdventureComedySci-Fi109 min

Mere seconds before Earth is demolished by an alien construction crew, Martin Freeman is Arthur Dent, an ordinary Englishman yanked into space by his friend Ford Prefect. Yasiin Bey’s Ford turns out to be a researcher updating The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Arthur is suddenly thrown into hyperspace, intergalactic bureaucracy, and the kind of cosmic disaster that arrives with official paperwork. Zooey Deschanel and Sam Rockwell turn up along the way as Arthur scrambles to understand a universe full of aliens, chases, and answers that only seem to get stranger.
