Synopsis

"Never tell them the odds."

Set in 1998.

STAR WARS fanboys across the globe eagerly await the release of EPISODE I. But for Eric (Sam Huntington), Linus (Chris Marquette), Hutch (Dan Fogler) and Windows (Jay Baruchel) the term "fanboy" is more than just a title, it's a badge of honor.

These former high school friends reunite to undertake the ultimate road trip of their fan-tasies. Zealots with an undying loyalty to their cause, they are spurred into action and travel west to visit their Mecca - George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch.

The plan is to break in, steal the film and stake their claim as the first fanboys in history to watch it. But to secure their place in the fanboy hall of fame, they'll have to contend with bizarre bikers, a crazy pimp, a deranged group of trekkies and the quiet intensity of William Shatner.
