Plot summary
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the most popular known reference work in the Milky Way, for two reasons: it is inexpensive, and it has the words Don't Panic written on it in large, friendly letters on its cover. It is a galactic bestseller everywhere except on the backward planet Earth, where they still think digital watches are "a pretty neat idea." Ford Prefect is a field correspondant for the Guide stationed on Earth and fully aware that the Guide has forgotten about him. His best friend is the unassuming Earthling Arthur Dent. His boring life in the West Country is changed one morning when Ford alerts him that he's actually from somewhere near Betelgeuse and that they have to get off the planet before it's demolished. Indeed, an alien race of bureaucrats called Vogons intend to destroy Earth to make way for a "hyperspace bypass".

I'm afraid that's a novel with enough complexity in it to require a read. Summarizing key elements would take a paper in itself, if not an entire book.

And its really worth reading, more than once actually - as are its sequels.

Never saw the movie - did see the TV show though.

the movie was vaguely based on the book, and covers can vary,
