The adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne and Garth. From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"—and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra. Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Bohemian Rhapsody' scene revived Queen's entire career in the US after Freddie Mercury's death — the song re-entered Billboard charts for the first time in 16 years.
Mike Myers threw an on-set tantrum over the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' choice, wanting 'Stairway to Heaven' instead — the crew filmed him complaining, and it's the actual footage in the movie.
