Introduction by Film Historian Glenn Andreiev
Mel Brooks’ Star Wars
spoof, is still one of the greatest parodies of all time. In a distant galaxy,
planet Spaceball has depleted its air supply. In desperation, Spaceball's
leader President Skroob (Mel Brooks) orders the evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis)
to kidnap Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) of oxygen-rich Druidia and hold her
hostage in exchange for air. But help arrives for the Princess in the form of
renegade space pilot Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog Barf
(John Candy). (1987, 96 mins)
