Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Synopsis

"History is about to be rewritten by two guys who can't spell." Two amiable Southern California high-schoolers are about to flunk history — which would split up their fledgling band, Wyld Stallyns, and (per a visitor from the future) doom human civilization. Armed with a time-travelling phone booth, Bill and Ted careen through history, kidnapping figures from Socrates to Napoleon to Joan of Arc to crash their final-exam presentation. A genial, deceptively kind comedy whose central premise — the future depends on these two not failing high school — never stops being funny.
