May the farce be with you in this hilarious space oddity from comic genius Mel Brooks that´ll send you into hyperspace with fits of laughter! Lampooning everything from 'Star Wars' and 'Alien' to 'Star Trek' and 'Planet of the Apes', this uproarious salute to science fiction is a five-star comedy that scores eight trillion on the laughometer! The fearless - and clueless - Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half man/half dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) race against time to free Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the evil clutches of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis). Along the way, they confront gooey gangster Pizza the Hutt, sassy robot Dot Matrix and wise little imp Yoghurt (Brooks), who teaches them the mystical power of "the Schwartz" in order to bring peace - and merchandising rights - to the entire galaxy!
