The
movie tells the story of Captain EO and the ragtag crew of his
spaceship on a mission to deliver a gift to a wicked alien
queen, the Supreme Leader, on her home world of rotting, twisted
metal and steaming vents. Captain EO's alien crew consists of
his small flying sidekick Fuzzball, the double-headed navigator
and pilot Idee and Odee, robotic security officer Major Domo, a
small robot Minor Domo (who fits like a module into Major Domo),
and the clumsy elephant-like shipmate Hooter (Tony Cox) who
always manages to blunder the crew's missions.
Upon arriving on the planet, the crew is captured and sentenced
to torture. Before being sent away, EO tells the Queen that he
sees the beauty hidden within her, and that he brings her the
key to unlock it: his song, "We Are Here To Change The World".
The two robot members of the crew transform into music
instruments and the crew members begin to play the various
instruments. As Hooter runs toward his instrument, he trips over
EO's cape and breaks his instrument, stopping the music. The
spell broken, the Queen orders her guards to capture Captain EO
and his crew.
Hooter manages to repair his instrument and sends out a blast of
music, providing EO with the power to throw off the guards. He
uses his power to transform the dark hulking guards into agile
dancers who fall into step behind him for a dance number. As EO
presses forward toward the Supreme Leader she unleashes her Whip
Warriors, two cybernetic defenders each with a whip and shield
that can deflect EO's power.
The others all run away leaving Captain EO to fight the whip
warriors alone. EO is trapped by a closing gate and is preparing
for a last stand as both the whip warriors draw their whips back
for a final blow. Fuzzball drops his instrument and speedily
flies over to tie the two whips together, causing the whip
warriors to be thrown off balance giving EO an opportunity to
transform them as well. With no further obstacles, EO uses his
power to transform the Queen into a beautiful woman, her lair
into a peaceful Greek temple and the planet into a verdant
paradise.
A celebration breaks out to "Another Part of Me", as EO and his
crew triumphantly exit and fly off into space.
