the adventures of buckaroo banzai across the 8th dimension (1984)

aka The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Buckaroo Banzai. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension.
"Hey man, nice jacket!"
Buckaroo (Peter Weller), a surgeon, rock-star, and scientist, develops a method of traveling through solid material at a molecular level, in an attempt to prove that other lifeforms live on earth, in other dimensions. In doing so he accidentally releases some aliens, (including John Lithgow & Christopher Lloyd), imprisoned in the 8th dimension. He and his team (including Geff Goldblum and Ellen Barkin), are given an ultimatum by the rulers of the 10th planet - recapture them within 24 hours or they will nuke them, potentially starting a world war.
Tongue in cheek, and complex adventure, that rattles along at a breathless pace. One for the 80's sci-fi fanboys.
