In the small town of San Dimas, a few miles away from Los Angeles, there are two teenage boys not very smart going by the names of Bill (Keanu Reeves) and Ted (Alex Winter). They have a dream together of starting their own rock and roll band called the "Wyld Stallyns". Unfortunately, they are still in high school and on the verge of failing out of their school as well, and if they do not pass their upcoming history report, they will be separated as a result of Ted's father sending him to military school. But, what Bill and Ted do not know is that they must stay together to save the future. So, a man from the future named Rufus (George Carlin) came to help them pass their report. Both Bill and Ted decided to gather up historical figures which they need for their report traveling through history in a telephone booth. They are hoping that this will help them pass their report so they can stay together.
