As in the first movie, they’re on a quest to lose their virginities (or, in the parlance of their times, to “score”), which, as before, various government officials mistake for something far more nefarious. Eventually, this leads to them getting sucked into a black hole, and popping out in 2022. The movie picks up in 1998, shortly after their show’s 1997 end: When Beavis and Butt-Head (both voiced, as ever, by creator Mike Judge) are sent to space camp in an attempt to rehabilitate their general delinquency, they are improbably recruited for a real mission.
After going through a black hole, they re-emerge in our time, where they look for love, misuse iPhones, and are hunted by the Deep State. Their obsession with a docking simulator (huh huh) leads to a trip on the Space Shuttle, with predictably disastrous results. Like a lot of the classic Beavis shorts, it’s all predicated on a misunderstanding - a steadfast and mistaken belief that these two eternally snickering, muttering, horny teenage boys must be concealing hidden depths. In 1998, Beavis and Butt-Head are sentenced to Space Camp by a creative judge. In between the sci-fi embellishments, the movie has set pieces in such exotic, far-flung locales as a porta-potty and a motel room.
Like The Simpsons in its fifth season, it does indeed send its dull-witted protagonists into space - and, unlike The Simpsons (as far as I know I’m not current on the last few seasons), it also gives them multi-versal doppelgangers, smarter versions of the boys who urge them to do their part to save the universe.
