In the film’s opening, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Stephen Fry) narrates that the dolphins, the second most-intelligent creatures on Earth, had attempted to warn mankind about the planet’s impending destruction, but humans had interpreted the dolphins’ communications as tricks. The dolphins considered their mission a failure and left the planet, leaving their final message to humans as “So long, and thanks for all the fish.”
The remainder of the film follows the Earthling Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) interspersed with narrated Guide entries. Arthur wakes up one morning to find his house about to be demolished by bulldozers and attempts to delay them. Ford Prefect (Mos Def), his best friend, manages to convince Arthur to come to the pub in order to get some beer as muscle relaxant. Ford tries to explain to Arthur that he is really an alien from Betelgeuse working on the Hitchhiker’s Guide, and that the Earth is shortly to be demolished. As predicted, a Vogon planet destruction crew appears above Earth, announcing to humanity its impending demise to make way for a hyperspace expressway. Ford saves himself and Arthur by hitching a ride on a Vogon ship as the Earth is destroyed. However, the two are discovered by the Vogons and as punishment, are forced to listen to Vogon poetry, the third-worst of its type in the galaxy (the second being of the Azgoths of Kria, and the first being of Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex). Despite Arthur’s attempts to express admiration for the poetry, the two are thrown out the air lock, picked up shortly afterward automatically by the starship Heart of Gold before they die of asphyxiation. Aboard the Heart of Gold, they find Ford’s “semi-half brother” (claiming they shared three of the same mothers) Zaphod Beeblebrox (Sam Rockwell), the President of the Galaxy who used his status to steal the ship, Tricia McMillan (Zooey Deschanel), an Earth woman that Arthur had flirted with at a party once before she decided to leave with Zaphod, and Marvin the Paranoid Android (voiced by Alan Rickman, acted out by Warwick Davis).
Zaphod explains to the others that he seeks to visit the planet Magrathea, where he believes he can discover the Ultimate Question to Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything to match with the Answer “42″ given by the supercomputer Deep Thought (voiced by Helen Mirren). Zaphod stole the Heart of Gold to use its improbability drive to get to the planet by trial and error – of an unplanned degree. To get the location of Magrathea, Zaphod must visit Humma Kavula (John Malkovich), his opponent in the election (his campaign being described as the “slanderous ‘don’t vote for stupid’ campaign”), on the planet Viltvodle VI. Kavula accepts the offer but demands they return with a Point-of-view gun created by Deep Thought, as well as taking one of Zaphod’s two heads as a “hostage”. As they attempt to leave the planet, Trillian is captured by the Vogons, and the others are forced to travel to the Vogon homeworld, Vogsphere, to rescue her from the Vogon bureaucracy. The crew find themselves very annoyed with the spatula-like life forms that slap conscious thoughts (in the tangible head), long lines, and the brunt of frustrating yet effective forum processing. Before she is rescued, Trillian learns that Zaphod had inadvertently signed the authorization for the destruction of Earth, because he thought that it was a request for an autograph. Read more
