Plot summary
A guitar-shaped spaceship and its robot, 1359, travel the universe looking for where rock and roll comes from. They pass over other planets before reaching Earth. A rocket telephone booth lands in Speelburgh, and Absid leads his fellow aliens out. The Sheriff sees the landing and becomes fixated on invaders. Dee Dee is a high school singer in love with Frankie, who leads the local band The Pack. She wants to sing with them, but Frankie refuses. In a nearby lake, a tentacled creature formed by pollution periodically stretches its arms through town. At a maltshop, the aliens meet Dee Dee, Frankie and The Pack. Absid takes a liking to Dee Dee and tries to win her heart, while his crew collects specimens. Two escaped killers, Chainsaw and The Breather, are also at large.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In April 1984 Pia Zadora and Jermaine Jackson flew to Italy aboard Zadora's personal jet to shoot a video for their duet When the Rain Begins to Fall. Its plot had nothing to do with the film and it used an entirely different cast and crew, yet the filmmakers placed the video in the opening sequence.
- Producers wanted someone with acting experience for Frankie, so Craig Sheffer took the role over a television series, another film and the Broadway play Torch Song Trilogy, which he did after the film wrapped. He had assumed he was hired for his long hair, until the filmmakers sent the cast to the barber shop.
- James Guidotti conceived his original script, Attack of the Aliens, as a B-movie spoof, like switching channels late on a Saturday night between an old Beach Party movie, one about alien invaders, a film about a homicidal maniac on the loose and a rock and roll programme.
