16-year-old Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) zigzags around suburban Florida on his hoverboard between Christmas and New Year's with one goal: make $5000.

It's the day after Christmas in suburban Florida, and Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) and his friends drift through the sun-bleached limbo between holidays by slacking, shoplifting, and beatboxing. In between sneaking into pools and zoning out on the beach, Billy hustles for tips on the food-on-demand app Grubster, determined to make exactly $5,000 before New Year's Eve. As he zigzags across town on his hoverboard delivering fast food to a cast of oddball locals, a routine drop-off at the Dolphin Groves Juice Company leads to an unexpected reunion with Rozebud (Miya Folick), his childhood crush, and a mysterious alien creature named Donut that's stowed away in his backpack. The surprise encounter sets off a surreal chain of events that puts Billy in the crosshairs of Dr. Dolphin (Janeane Garofalo), a ruthless juice mogul who will stop at nothing to reclaim her extraterrestrial property.



Directed by Julian Glander in his signature tactile, lo-fi CGI style, Boys Go to Jupiter transforms the sprawl of suburban Florida into a pastel purgatory of empty strip malls, algorithmic music, and adolescent yearning. What begins as a quest for financial freedom slowly evolves into an offbeat odyssey of love, labor, and late-capitalist absurdity, as Billy is forced to decide how far he'll go to protect his friends--and his future. With its deadpan humor, musical detours, and deeply felt strangeness, the film reimagines the coming-of-age comedy as a vapor-soaked fable for the burnout generation.
