Earthman Arthur Dent is having a bad day. His house is about to be bulldozed, he discovers that his best friend is an alien and Planet Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur's only chance for survival: hitch a ride on a passing spacecraft. Arthur sets out on a journey in which he finds that nothing is as it seems: he learns that a towel is just the most useful thing in the universe and discovers that everything he needs to know is in one book: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
