  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Disclaimer: While this plot synopsis is for the benefit of anyone wishing to reminisce about the film, no possible summary could do its comedy justice..

The first passenger shuttle to the Moon, named the Mayflower, is ready for its maiden voyage, but all is not well with the spacecraft. Meanwhile, Ted Striker, who helped test pilot the vehicle, is committed to a mental hospital on the strength of a Kangaroo Court frameup after he tried to blow the whistle on its design problems. Learning of the shuttle's impending launch, he escapes the hospital and races to the airport in an attempt to stop it.

When he gets there, he meets Elaine, who has moved on since the trial and found a new boyfriend, Roger. They are crew members on the lunar shuttle and refuse to believe Ted's warnings. He gets aboard by means of a scalped ticket and the shuttle sets off. Naturally, partway through the voyage its computer systems short out, leading the onboard AI, R.O.K., to steer the shuttle drastically off-course, while adamantly denying that anything is wrong.

When the pilots attempt to disconnect R.O.K., he murders them, forcing Elaine to admit that Ted was right and putting him right back in the cockpit. The first order of business is to destroy R.O.K., which is accomplished by use of a bomb that a suicidal passenger conveniently brought onboard. That problem solved, they use the shuttle's experimental "Worp" drive to return to the Moon at Ludicrous Speed.

The commander of the lunar base, Buck Murdoch, is also an old war commander of Striker's, and naturally is not too pleased to hear from him, but in an inversion of the previous film, Ted knows what he's doing and Murdoch proves to be an incompetent buffoon. Another crash-landing ensues, everyone's saved, and Ted and Elaine finally tie the knot.
