Explained simply
Bill and Ted are the characters played by Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in a comedy film series that began with Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure in 1989. In the original story, the two school friends travel through time to meet historical figures as part of a history assignment.
The films mix time travel, comedy and rock music, and the characters have appeared in films, television and games over the years. The new project returns to that setting in the form of a retro-style video game, with players meeting figures from history and taking part in challenges.
