After Earth is unceremoniously demolished to make way for an intergalactic highway, Arthur is whisked away by his alien friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the titular guidebook. Together, they encounter bizarre beings, perilous situations, and the absurdity of existence itself, all while learning that the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is—surprisingly—42.
