“Don't leave Earth without it.”
Adrift in the cosmos mere seconds after Earth's demolition, Arthur Dent clings to his alien friend Ford Prefect, who whisked him away from impending doom. As a researcher for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," Ford navigates the absurdities of interstellar existence, dragging Arthur through a bewildering array of encounters that challenge the very fabric of sanity and reality.
