Guida galattica per autostoppisti

Tratto dal famoso romanzo di Douglas Adams, narra di un viaggio avventuroso attraverso le galassie di un gruppo di alieni in cerca del "senso della vita". Arthur Dent è un tranquillo abitante della Terra che non si è mai chiesto cosa ci sia oltre la galassia e che improvvisamente si trova a vivere il giorno peggiore e più sconvolgente della sua vita. Una mattina scopre che: la sua casa sta per essere abbattuta da un bulldozer, il suo miglior amico in realtà è un extraterrestre in missione sulla terra e il Pianeta Terra sta per essere distrutto. L'unica speranza che gli resta è fuggire via prima che sia troppo tardi.
