PLOT Nineteen years after their last adventure, life isn’t going well for Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves), with both their band and marriages on the brink of collapse. The duo are contemplating growing up — until a visitor from the future tasks them with writing a song that saves the universe...

“THE ONLY TRUE wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing...” “That’s, a big-hearted romp about two hard-rocking high-schoolers who rescue their history grades by zapping back in time to meet Genghis Khan, Socrates and friends first-hand. Its 1991 sequel upped the ante, forcing the pair to avert an impending apocalypse, face Death himself and win a local Battle Of The Bands. Where else was there for the slackers’ story to go?
