VIVA LA VHS! CELEBRATING ‘80S H0ME VIDEO

(Dir: Nick Castle; USA, 101mins)

From 1984, the greatest American summer movie season ever, comes an adventure classic that has become one of the most beloved VHS releases of all time. Arcade gamer Alex Rogan (Lance Guest), master of the Starfighter video game, is exactly the joystick warrior that intergalactic scout Centauri (Hollywood great Robert Preston) is after; soon, Alex is transported to a distant planet where his eye for coin-operated space battles qualifies him to fly with the best starfighters in their world. Both a rousing ode to the early days of CGI effects wizardry and a timeless adventure for the whole family, The Last Starfighter - clearly an inspiration for crowd pleasers like Galaxy Quest and Guardians of the Galaxy - is a charming, thrilling, ‘feel good’ piece of ‘80s Hollywood entertainment for all ages.
