Airheads is a comedy film released on August 5, 1994. It was written by Rich Wilkes and directed by Michael Lehmann.

It stars Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, and Steve Buscemi as a group of loser musicians called The Lone Rangers who take a radio station hostage, just so that their song would get some airplay. Joe Mantegna plays the radio station's disc jockey.

Chazz (Fraser), Rex (Buscemi) and Pip (Sandler) are a would-be rock band calling themselves The Lone Rangers (prompting the question 'How do you pluralize the lone ranger? There's three of you, you're not exactly lone shoudn't it be the 3 rangers?'). The guys are continuously turned down as they try to get their demo tape heard by producers. They finally decide to try and get the local rock station, Rebel Radio 103.6, to play it on the air, after they saw how Rebel Radio helped another band (The Sons of Thunder) get a record deal. Their first break-in attempt is using Pip's ATM card and its PIN. Then, Rex tries to "short circuit" the electronic lock with Pip's Big Gulp. They finally get in when a station employee comes out (and goes back in) and they keep the door from shutting. Once inside, disc jockey Ian the Shark (Mantegna) puts them on the air without them knowing. The station's sleazy manager Milo (Michael McKean) overhears them and intervenes. After Milo calls Rex "trash", Chazz and Rex shove water pistols (that look like Uzis) loaded with hot pepper sauce in Milo's face and demand airplay. After setting up a reel-to-reel for the demo, the tape starts... and is destroyed when the reel runs out and catches fire in an ashtray. The guys try to run, but Doug Beech (Michael Richards), a station employee called police and the building is surrounded. They soon realize that they are armed hostage takers, and begin negotiations with the police. Eventually, the record executive who rejects Chazz in the beginning of the movie comes to the radio station. The band signs a record contract and goes out on stage to play, only to realize that they are supposed to lip sync the song and fake playing the instruments. They refuse to lip sync while the music is playing and get a round of cheers from the audience, who rush the stage. Afterwards, we learn that the three were sent to prison, but served only a short time and had their album (which was recorded while the trio was imprisoned) go triple platinum.
