Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe is a 1991 science-fiction/action film written and directed by Damian Lee and starring Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Sven-Ole Thorsen, with a cameo by James Belushi.

Plot summary

The film revolves around the conflict of Abraxas and Secundus, two police officers of an unnamed alien race. Their race is physically similar to humans but with an incredible lifespan; Abraxas himself has been a police officer for at least nine thousand years. Each police officer is equipped with an "Answer Box," a device which serves as a long-distance communicator and scanner, and can detect any object from a distance based on the object's vibration.

In the film, Secundus wishes to access a sort of negative universe which he believes will give him power over our universe and render him immortal. To access this universe, he will need to know the solution to the Anti-Life Equation, which will act as a coordinate of sorts and a way into the negative universe. To do this, he travels to Earth and impregnates the first compatible human female he finds, Sonya Murry, by holding his hand over her belly. The baby born from this process is supposed to be a sort of prodigal son, and able to solve the equation. Just a few minutes later, she gives birth to a baby boy who she names Tommy. Meanwhile, Abraxas corners Secundus and the others of his race can lock onto his location and transport him to a prison planet. Sonya's parents kick her out of the house when she cannot tell them who the baby's father is.

Five years later, Tommy has not spoken a word yet, but begins to show strange abilities; when he is picked on at school, he makes the bully urinate himself. At the same time, Secundus escapes from prison and teleports to Earth using a sort of wormhole. The police send Abraxas parallel to Secundus with the same technology, but their paths cross and their weapons are destroyed. Abraxas pursues Secundus but they become separated and Secundus escapes to recharge his Answer Box, using the fuse box at an automotive shop as a power source. When the owner confronts him, he uses his Answer Box to test the shopowner for knowledge of the Anti-Life Equation. The test is so complicated that the owner literally explodes. This marks the beginning of Secundus' rampage. He steals cars, kills innocent people, and generally causes chaos, all the while scanning many people looking for the one in possession of knowledge of the Anti-Life Equation.
