Plot: When three eccentric parapsychology professors are booted from their university jobs, they decide to set up shop in an old firehouse as "Ghostbusters," a unique supernatural elimination service. Initially dismissed as frauds, the team suddenly finds themselves overwhelmed with business when New York City is hit by an unprecedented wave of paranormal activity. Equipped with advanced nuclear proton packs, they trap everything from spectral slimes to historic spooks. But when a beautiful cellist accidentally unlocks a portal to another dimension, the Ghostbusters face their ultimate test: saving Manhattan from a destructive ancient deity bent on bringing about an apocalypse.
