Brain surgeon, rock musician, adventurer Buckaroo Banzai is a modern renaissance man and has made scientific history.

But when his sworn enemy, the demented Dr. Emilio Lizardo, devises a plot to steal the device and bring an evil army back to destroy Earth, Buckaroo goes cranium to cranium with the madman in a battle that could spell doom for the universe.
