The Last Starfighter (1984 - PG)

A great, teenage, video game player is recruited by an alien talent scout to be a pilot in a real intergalactic war.

"The Last Starfighter" could be compared to STAR WARS. Robert Preston is terrific as the alien talent scout. The computer generated, space battle FX are very good, if not entirely realistic looking, and the highlight of the movie. O'Herlihy (Robocop) brings great zest to his role of a lizard skinned alien buddy of Guest.

The cast includes: Lance Guest, Robert Preston, Dan O'Herlihy, Barbara Bosson, Catherine Mary Stewart, and Norman Snow.

Directed by Nick Castle.
