Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) is a very ordinary man who is having a truly unusual day — after discovering that one of his best friends, Ford Prefect (Mos Def), is actually an alien, Ford tells him that the planet Earth is going to be destroyed so that otherworldly forces can make room for construction of a hyperspace bypass. Since Arthur accidentally saved Ford’s life years ago, Ford does him a favor — he first gets him a ride on a spaceship passing by, and then presents him with a guidebook that will tell a beginner everything he needs to know as he hitchhikes through outer space. Along the way, Arthur encounters such interstellar notables as sleazy Galaxy president Zaphod Beebelbrox (Sam Rockwell), the girl of his dreams Tricia McMillan (Zooey Deschanel), perpetually glum robot Marvin (voice of Alan Rickman), interplanetary construction magnate Slartibartfast (Bill Nighy), and cult leader Humma Kavula (John Malkovich).

Till one morning he wakes up to find out that planet Earth is going to be demolished. But this is just the beginning: his eccentric friend Ford Prefect reveals that he is actually an alien and a researcher of an electronic book called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He invites Dent for an intergalactic adventure, setting out to discover the meaning of life and to travel to the newly constructed Earth II., Seconds before the Earth is to be demolished by an alien construction crew, a man is swept off the planet by his friend who turns out to be an alien.
