Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is a 2022 American adult animated science fiction comedy film directed by John Rice and Albert Calleros and written by Mike Judge, Lew Morton, Guy Maxtone-Graham and Ian Maxtone-Graham.
The film follows teenage delinquents Beavis and Butt-Head, who are transported 24 years from 1998 to 2022, encounter parallel-universe versions of themselves and are hunted by the US government.
In Highland, Texas, in 1998, Beavis and Butt-Head accidentally burn down their high school science fair.
They undergo training and board the Space Shuttle Endeavour to study a micro black hole.
Enraged, Serena uses the shuttle controls to fling them into space, where they are sucked into the black hole.
The Pentagon detects their arrival and begins tracking them; Serena, now governor of Texas, vows to kill them to cover up her attempted murder.
When Siri offers to set up their smart home, they believe Serena is waiting for them in Highland.
In jail, Beavis takes pills given to him by an inmate, transforms into his hyperactive alter ego Cornholio, and incites an uprising.
In exchange for their silence, the government gives Beavis and Butt-Head their home back in its original condition.
In 2008, Mike Judge stated, "I like to keep the door open on Beavis and Butt-Head, because it's my favorite thing that I've ever done.
