In the future, every famous person will be a movie star for 85 minutes. Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe continues our 85 Minutes Of Fame season with the only lead role of WWF legend Jesse Ventura.
Abraxas (Ventura) and Secundus, are intergalactic police officers, or Finders, from a planet called Sargacia. Their race is physically similar to humans but with an expanded lifespan; Abraxas has been a Finder for almost 10,000 years.
Secundus wants to access a negative universe which he believes will give him omnipotent powers and make him immortal. To do this he needs the solution to the Anti-Life Equation. He travels to Earth and impregnates the first human female he finds, Sonia Murray, simply by holding his hand over her belly. The resulting baby will be the Culmator, a dangerously powerful prodigy able to solve the equation. Only a few minutes later, Sonia gives birth to a boy and names him Tommy.
Five years later, Tommy does not speak but does have strange abilities. Abraxas chases Secundus, who goes on a rampage, stealing cars, killing innocent people and causing chaos. He continues to scan people, looking for the chosen one who knows the Anti-Life Equation.
So sit back and enjoy the laughs as The Cult Film Showdown tries to sort out this mess, and Jim gets to tell the best Jim Belushi joke ever!
