Buckaroo Banzai is really more fantasy than SF. Where Star Wars is the classic Quest fantasy, Buckaroo Banzai follows a different story; there is a hidden world we donât know about, and in that world, forces of good and evil are waging a war with our world hanging in the balance.

Itâs religion for a post-supernatural world.
