Plot
In this 2005 science fiction comedy film, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy brings Douglas Adams' beloved book series to life. Mere seconds before Earth is demolished by an alien construction crew, Arthur Dent, played by Martin Freeman, finds himself swept off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher penning a new edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a travelogue for the galaxy. Ford, played by Mos Def, is an alien who is half-human and half-Russell, and has been living on Earth, observing human behavior and recording it in his guidebook. As Arthur struggles to comprehend the enormity of their situation, he and Ford embark on a journey through space aboard a stolen Vogon spaceship. Their first stop is the planet Magrathea, where they encounter Marvin, the Paranoid Android, voiced by Alan Rickman, who is depressed about the meaninglessness of life. The group then heads to the planet Frogstar World B, where Arthur and Ford become embroiled in a battle between the Vogons, a species known for their terrible poetry and even worse music, and the Morriphone-armed Magratheans. Along the way, they encounter Zaphod Beeblebrox, played by Samuel L. Jackson, who is two-headed and an infamous liar, Trillian, played by Zooey Deschanel, a human woman who was also rescued from Earth, and Slartibartfast, played by Bill Nighy, a designer of planetary features. Each character adds their own brand of humor and wit to the story. Throughout the film, Adams' signature blend of satire, absurdity, and pop culture references comes together in a hilarious and heartwarming exploration of human existence. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wildly entertaining ride that pokes fun at the complexities of life, love, and the universe.
