Editorial Reviews

Trailer-park teenager Lance Guest regularly escapes from his humdrum existence by playing the video game Starfighter. His expertise at this recreational endeavor attracts the attention of affable stranger Robert Preston. Before he knows what's happening, Guest is whisked by Preston into the outer reaches of the galaxy! It turns out that the Starfighter game is being played in deadly earnest in outer space, and that Guest is expected to join Preston's Star League, then do battle with the wicked Kodan forces. Guest's principal ally is the lizardlike Grig (Dan O'Herlihy--and we didn't recognize him either). His great rival is the traitorous Xur (Norman Snow). The contrast between Guest's earthbound life as the son of single-mother Barbara Bosson and his new position as Starfighter is daunting at first, but soon the boy is manning a spacecraft and zapping the baddies as though he's been doing it all his life. The Last Starfighter was clearly designed with "sequel" in mind: giveaways include the resurrection of a "dead" character and the surprisingly casual escape of the villain. While the film didn't stir up enough business to warrant a sequel, the Starfighter video game remained a much-sought-after commodity by joystick-happy "warriors" all over the country.

April 01, 2009: I remember watching this movie when I was younger. It's great for remembering your youth. The visuals were not the best compared to present day standards but for the time it was set it they were good, for example when the Beta Unit takes off his head to repair himself it looked like someone with their head off. The acting was believable. Who wouldn't freak out when aliens show up to try to kill you because you were good at a video game?

I've been looking for this movie everywhere for years. It's a good find. There's lots of action but nothing that might be too scary for younger viewers.

Although I do wonder what happened to the Beta Unit after it rammed the truck into the satellite.
