A needlessly complicated plan to accomplish a simple task.
Creating an elaborate scheme involving things like lasers, explosions, rope ladders, poisoning and painstakingly crafted lies to make things more cool, interesting and exciting when all could be solved simply by telling the truth, getting the key or using the back exit, etc.
Cool for the sake of cool in effect (often used in movie plot explanations or sitcom plots).

The name Tom Sawyer Plan comes from Huckleberry Finn where Tom makes an elaborate scheme to free Jim from the plantation when they could have just gotten he key the whole time.
Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory's web of lies to avoid seeing Penny in RENT, which build on each other until he has to go on a weekend trip, hire an actor and keep up an elaborate fake back story to get out of seeing one play.

Get the Tom Fuckin' Bradymug. 'Radical' guitarist with Rage Against The Machine.
Used the guitar as a 'sampler', in that he could make it go 'woo woo' like a siren. Then proceded to use pedals and feedback to make pretty unimpressive noises.
Wore a cap that said 'Commie', which juxtaposed with the millions of dollar he earnt from three albums etc with RATM. His comments that his band signed to Epic was because they wanted to destroy the machine from the inside, was obviously very naive bullshit.
Now with a very bland, unadventurous, Middle Of The Road band called Audioslave.
Tom ruled on the first RATM album, what he was doing was unheard of before, even the follow up was incredibly different.
Used long words in interviews to sound intellegent.
