Coming to movie-goers in 2005, get ready for the big-screen debut of the late Douglas Adams' cult-hit, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! Based on the popular novels, The Hitchhiker's Guide is the story of Arthur Dent, a seemingly ordinary Earth-man who finds himself beamed into outer space. Once there, he hooks up with a really strange group of aliens including the at-first seemingly ordinary Ford Prefect (his old friend), a two-headed ex-Galactic president with a crazy sense of fashion, a chronically-depressed android and more! Along the way, he learns that nothing is ever like he really thought it was and that his planet of birth was part of a bigger secret than he ever could have imagined possible.
