  • A life in the day of Lou Hanske sucks. Take today for example, he's been attacked by a bear, his car's totaled and then he loses his job. Lou thinks life can't get much worse -- Boy is he wrong when this down-on-his-luck lab technician is discovered by a cult that believe he is "the chosen one". The only one who can speak to God, really cool right? Wrong, now he must travel with his cranky old roommate Zeb (Chris Sarandon) to Kansas and deliver the world into the new age. Oh, did we mention that along the way he must overcome The Prince of Hell aka The Devil (Tim Curry), Ninjas, Thugs for hire, Femme Fatales (Traci Lords, Debra Wilson), the baddest group of priests this side of Purgatory and one mean Robot! And of course enlightenment comes with a price that could mean forever losing the love of his life, Donna or turning the world into darkness...
