Oh, and he's also the only one who can save the planet. Armed only with a toy robot, a famous gamer, a grumpy grandma and a juicy tomato, he finds himself on an impossible journey through space. Why is the earth suddenly freezing? In which currency do you pay in Dinar for Mercury? Who will win the brutal tournament on the star in five-a-side?
