Sheila and the Brainstem Plot and Cast
Taz, a nutty visionary in the American southwest, has temporarily misplaced the wizened, dried-out Brainstem he found in a mysterious subterranean world and believes is the key to immortality. During a convenience store robbery, three rebellious punks—Sean, Head, and Billy Dork—unknowingly steal it, thinking it's a stick of beef jerky. Newlyweds Bruce and Sheila stumble into the confrontation; the punks kidnap Sheila as a hostage, and Taz kidnaps Bruce, setting off a bizarre chase across a landscape of identical convenience stores, housing developments, and rampant consumerism.
