Dr. Buckaroo Banzai is a real renaissance man: a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot and even a rock musician. Is there anything he can't do?! Ellen Barkin and Jeff Goldblum lead a team of loveable oddballs who join forces to save the world from the evil Dr. Emilio Lizardo (John Lithgow) and his gaggle of interdimensional aliens (including Christopher Lloyd!), intent on stealing Buckaroo's latest invention, the "oscillation overthruster."
Don't miss this chance to become a teenager again for an all-ages screening of what RogerEbert.com describes as "your typical sci-fi/action/comedy/rock&roll/kung-fu/political satire/neo-western/guys-on-a-mission extravaganza." And remember: "No matter where you go…there you are." That's right, Buckaroo is a philosopher too!
Discussion follows with director W.D. Richter '68, moderated by Chris Robinson '86
